[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 648327] [NEW] Tomboy data loss on system crash, when using ext4

[Marius Gedminas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomboy

My laptop crashed.  When I rebooted, I couldn't find the Tomboy note I
had open before.  Looking closer I discovered a 0-length file in
~/.local/share/tomboy/ which was all that remained from my note.  I
restored it from a backup, but lost all changes made today.

I hadn't made any changes to the content of the note in the last hour
prior to the crash; the only changes were to the cursor position and/or
the location of the note on my screen.  Losing data because Tomboy wants
to preserve those details is not very nice...
