hi, i recently installed Ubuntu onto a new machine, and tried to copy over my old Tomboy notes (also from an Ubuntu machine). All of the data in the notes and all of the notes themselves are intact. However, the title of the notes does not show up in the tomboy applet, as you can see from the attached screenshot. 

I simply rsync'd my old notes from

.local/share/tomboy
.gconf/apps/tomboy
.config/tomboy
.cache/tomboy

to the new machine (in the same locations). My username and userid are identical to the previous installation, and all permissiosn are identical.

Currently, the only way I can access any of my notes by title is use the 'search all notes' function.

Any suggestions?

This is not an upstream bug, it is a bug in a patch that Ubuntu applies to their Tomboy package to use their appindicator stuff.

I assume you're using Maverick?  The Launchpad bug is here:

In the meantime, you could switch to using Tomboy as a panel applet.  Right-click your GNOME panel, select Add To Panel, and find Tomboy.  The panel applet menu should work fine.

exactly - duplicate bug - my bad. Thanks for the suggestion.
