View Full Version : [ubuntu] Tomboy on startup

Hello,

A few months ago I setup Tomboy to start on startup (I added it in "system->preferences->sessions"). I wanted it to open in tray so I couldn't use the default command ("tomboy --search"). Instead, I typed just "tomboy" and everything worked fine: tomboy ran on startup in tray. A few weeks ago it changed: now it's not starting in tray and when I click "close" it closes instead of minimizing. I don't recall installing any update for Tomboy, but maybe there was one.
Anyone sees a way to solve this? I want it to start in tray again (I don't want it to open its window at startup).

Yes, it's not working though. I partly solved it by just adding Tomboy to gnome panel and removing it from startup. I asked about it on Tomboy IRC channel and they said there's nothing to be done with that.

Hello,

I had exactly the same problem. I found a workaround:

I wrote a script:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 25 && tomboy;
and set this script to start on startup (added it in "system->preferences->sessions")

Now tomboy starts minimized and it is minimizing when I click "close".

P.S. I'm new to linux and Ubuntu and I don't understand such tomboy behavior.

Right Click on the panel and add the tomboy applet.
