Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomboy

I'm running up-to-date Ubuntu Karmic. This bug started occurring a few
days ago.

Whenever I create a new or open an old note in tomboy, a pop-up error
message warns:

"Error saving note data. An error occurred while saving your notes.
Please check that you have sufficient disk space...". See attached
screenshot.

I have plenty of free disk space so that shouldn't be a problem. A new
error message pops up every minute or so, essentially making tomboy
impossible to use.

I have noticed in ~/.local/share/tomboy that notes are stored in a
format typically looking like this:

f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note

but the note currently open (and causing the problem described above)
will only have two two backup versions, one ending with "~" and on
ending with ".tmp", e.g.

f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note~
f52b0f81-b54a-4d44-8629-e72dc854a2d2.note.tmp

Over the past several days a few notes have been lost, simply
disappeared from my system.

Tomboy panel log (.config/tomboy/tomboy-panel.log) reports

[ERROR]: Exception while saving note: System.IO.IOException: Sharing violation
