That's a problem that needs to be fixed. Though I don't use either
application. Nautilus does just fine for my photo gathering needs, and
I see Tomboy as a toy, really. If you want a real-world useful
note-taking program, yo
7;s main competitor is Microsoft.
Using someone else's dogfood (Mono) because your own dogfood (Java) is
crap is not good advertising.
Mono is used for two applications: a photo manager and a note-taking
program. Those programs are hardly a selling point of Ubuntu. And
therefore, the use of M

platform nowadays *is* .NET. Win32 is deprecated.
