This problem is currently present in Intrepid, I have investigated more; it seems to be caused by Tomboy launching before the notification area applet has loaded. If I remove the notification area from my panel configuration, Tomboy always starts with the search for notes dialog and the program exits when that is closed. This probably also explains why it happens for some people and not others. On my first log in after booting, Tomboy almost always starts in the 'non-persistent' mode; on subsequent logins, Tomboy almost always runs as expected in 'persistent' mode. This is probably caused by kernel caching or whatever when loading the panel applets.
On a brief look over Tomboy.cs, it is probably something to do with the program registering as a panel applet. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
