Description Tom McLaughlin 2007-01-22 18:46:11 UTC 
When Tomboy is started as a panel applet, right clicking on it and selecting "Help" causes the applet to crash.  This does not happen when hitting F1 in a note window or when tomboy was started manually and selecting "Help" from the right-click menu.

Versions:
tomoy 0.5.4
gtk# 2.10.0
gnome# 2.16.0

Working patch

Thanks for reporting this bug.  Good find!

Committed this patch to SVN.  In this case, we can't use the "ShowHelpAction" to display the help in this case because the handler expects to use the Gdk.Screen from the tray icon.
