Description Robert Millan 2009-06-14 19:43:55 UTC 
When Tomboy is started while already running (either as applet or standalone), instead of starting a new instance it will trigger the existing one to open a "Search all notes" dialog.

When Gnote is started while already running, it will just start a new instance in the notification area.  This is probably dangerous since they share the same ~/.gnote which is (presumably) not a managed resource.
Comment 1 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2009-06-15 16:08:33 UTC 
need d-bus support OR libunique.
Comment 2 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2009-06-21 04:03:25 UTC 
To be more accurate. To have gnote in the panel, it is a little bit of magic. So if you start it from the command line it goes to the notification area.

That does not dimnish the fact that it actually should be "unique"
Comment 3 Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2009-07-19 03:13:34 UTC 
fixed in master.
