[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 112703] Re: tomboy sometimes starts with search dialog rather than as minimized applet

There are two different issues here:

1) Launching Tomboy from the menus (not as a panel applet) brings up
Search.

This is intentional.  If you look at the tomboy.desktop file, you'll see
that the command is "tomboy --search", which brings up the Search
window.  This is because most users launching an application from a menu
expect a "main" window to come up.  You can edit the file to remove "--
search" if you don't want it.

An appropriate upstream bug to file would be changing this into a
preference in our GUI instead.


2) If Tomboy starts up before the notification area in the GNOME panel, then closing the Search window quits Tomboy.

When Tomboy starts, if it does not see it's icon appear in the
notification area within two seconds, it assumes there *is* no
notification area, which means the user has no way to quit Tomboy except
via the Search window.  So we make closing the window quit Tomboy in
this case.

A good upstream bug would be to re-check whether or not the Tomboy icon
is in the notification area at the time when the user closes the Search
window.


Please file these upstream.  The second one I will fix ASAP, the first one I will try to get fixed soon.
