Description petrosyan 2007-02-13 05:35:21 UTC 
According to GNOME HIG http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-integration.html#menu-item-tooltips
menu item tooltips should be phrased as an imperative verb.

# Phrase the tooltip as an imperative verb, for example "design", "write" or "check".

tomboy's menu entry's tooltip is not a verb. It is "Simple and easy to use note-taking"

Just FYI, we know this bug is still present.  ;-)  That's why we haven't closed it.

Sorry no fix got in this cycle, though.
