[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 599283] Re: active tomboy note hangs (grayed out) frequently

[nZain]

Alternatively - can I run the sync on startup, only? Also, I wouldn't
mind a longer shutdown time because tomboy tries to sync be4 shutdown
(not sure, if that would work - depends on "when" tomboy/network is
shutdown and if the OS is waiting for orderly shutdown).

I haven't found anything useful in tomboys arguments (which also lack
"--without-search-window"). Looking at the gconf entries, I can't find a
simple "enabled=true/false" flag. What happens, when I increase the
autosync_timeout to an insane value? Does tomboy sync on startup, then
start the timer (which would be fine), or the other way around, i.e.
start the timer and sync afterwards?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

While editing a note, it is frequently grayed out for several seconds. The note is not responding to basic edit attempts. Since this happens very frequently and takes the longer the larger the note is, I suspect it may be some problem with ubuntu-one sync, which locks the underlying note file? I'm not familiar with the sync technique of ubuntu one. Alternatively, it could be a bad implemention of an autosave method.

When I do not touch the note - just leaving it open on the screen - it does not happen. When I'm actively editing the note, it happens more frequently than the sync interval, can't say exactly. So this speaks against ubuntu one sync. I'll turn of autosync now and report back later.
