Partial answer: to disable beagle indexing systemwide:

from root edit the file :/opt/kde3/share/autostart/beagled.desktop

change the line:
X-KDE-autostart-condition=kerryrc:Beagle:AutoStart:true

to:

X-KDE-autostart-condition=kerryrc:Beagle:AutoStart:false


beagle indexing does not start anymore for all users!

This is documented nowhere!

I still think that unchecking "start beagle indexing 
service automaticly" not working is a bug.
