[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 112703] Re: tomboy starts with search dialog rather than as minimized in notification area

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

I'm able to reproduce the behavior that was originally reported by
Robert, and I can confirm that delaying the launch as suggested by
Philip in comment #20 prevents the "Search All Notes" window from being
opened. Actually, a more straightforward way to delay the launch of
Tomboy is to append a line to the .desktop file:

echo "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=10" >> ~/.config/autostart/tomboy.desktop

Unfortunately you can't add that line via the GUI provided by 
System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications

Anyway, I believe that whatever is needed to prevent the "Search All
Notes" window from opening, it should better be fixed within the tomboy
package.

To prevent confusion about the nature of this bug, I suggest that "when
autostarted" is appended to the summary wording. Also, I believe that
this bug is more important than just a wishlist item. The annoyance
caused by an undesired window popping up at login may hurt the Ubuntu
reputation.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

I have XUbuntu Feisty set up so that tomboy is an autostarted application.

Sometimes when it boots, tomboy is a minimized applet in the panel. Other times it starts in the search dialogue.
