** Description changed: After noting that the Tomboy screenlet wasn't showing all my notes, I started digging... THE PROBLEM: Tomboy screenlet v0.1 (bundled with 0.1.2-7 on my 9.10/Karmic system) looks for notes in ~/.tomboy. This path is hard-coded in /usr/share/screenlets/Tomboy/TomboyScreenlet.py and used unless $TOMBOY_PATH is set in the environment. But Tomboy 1.0.0, which supposedly shipped with Karmic, stores its notes in ~/.local/share/tomboy (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/580333). A WORKAROUND: Since I had upgraded from an earlier release, Tomboy 1.0.0 helpfully left behind a message in a file named "YOUR_NOTES_HAVE_MOVED!" in the old notes directory, ~/.tomboy. This gave me the idea to move the old notes directory out of the way (renamed it to ~/.tomboy__old), then creating a symbolic link to ~/.local/share/tomboy in place of ~/.tomboy. After quitting and re-launching the Tomboy screenlet, the screenlet shows the correct notes. POSSIBLE PERMANENT FIX: I'll look into creating a patch to test the output of 'tomboy --version' and choose the notes directory appropriately. As a disclaimer, I'm terrible about starting projects (even simple ones) and not finishing them. OTHER ISSUES: - The Tomboy screenlet still seems to require a quit/re-launch to update the list of notes if any are added/deleted, but that's for another bug report. + <strike>The Tomboy screenlet still seems to require a quit/re-launch to update the list of notes if any are added/deleted, but that's for another bug report.</strike>
