I've figured out the problem. Tomboy was also enabled for my Gnome sessions. Since I configured Xfce to launch Gnome services on startup, tomboy was running (even though the icon was not showing in the system tray).
I couldn't get the gnome utilities for editing the session to run within Xfce, so I had to log out, log in to Gnome, disable Tomboy, and then logout and log back in to Xfce again. There are still some things wrong: other Gnome applications that are run inside Gnome sessions and also in Xfce on startup such as Beagle, Gnome Power Manager, Network Manager do not give warnings or weird behaviour that Tomboy does. What is different about Tomboy? The bahviour of launching a search menu when it is already running is not intuitive. It should only do that if given a command-line option. -- tomboy sometimes starts with search dialog rather than as minimized applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
