Sticky Notes is SIMPLE. I love them. If I need to quickly write a telephone number down I can create a nice, yellow(!) Sticky Note with one click, type the number, and be done. With Tomboy I need to think about a note title. As simple a task as that is, most of the time I really can't be bothered. Also, having pale yellow Sticky Notes with dropshadows and such is a VERY nice effect with Compiz! I love the way they all hide away! :) So, I answer your question with another question. Why do you think they occupy the same use profile? I think tomboy is more for organising information than for jotting down phone numbers. > > > I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the GNOME acceptance process.

More or less. I'm not on the release team. > -- Alex Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
