@Redmar: actually the majority of apps these days are storing data in
~/.local/share or ~/.config , so you should *always* make sure to back
up those directories when moving to a new system.

I'm sorry that you lost your notes.  We did drop a file in ~/.tomboy
indicating that the notes had been moved, but didn't draw a lot of
attention to it, because we figured most users would either back up all
of $HOME or know enough to include the XDG data dirs.

In this case, we let you down, and I'm sorry about that.  We won't be
doing that sort of move again.  It was an important component of us
hitting Tomboy 1.0, and now you can count on your notes always being
stored in ~/.local/share/tomboy/ (unless you choose to set various
environment variables to relocate it).

Fortunately, this is the only report I've seen of data loss in this
circumstance, though there have been plenty of bugs or forum posts
asking where to look in a complete $HOME backup for the notes.
