I can confirm that this problem seems to exhibit itself when the Tomboy program finishes loading before the gnome-panel does. This happens somewhat at random depending on how under load the start up session currently is. The more programs being loaded and tasks being performed, the more likely the search dialog is to appear.
The other side effect is that closing this window causes the tomboy instance to shutdown in the notification area as well. Re-opening tomboy again (e.g., alt+f2 and just doing 'tomboy' again) makes the instance correctly load up and minimize to the notification area upon close. As a work around, I have made a quick shell script to delay the starting of tomboy by about 10s on start up. I've attached the startup script for the lazy. It's contents are very simple: #!/bin/sh sleep $1 shift exec $@ The script needs to be made executable, and then I simply put the command in session as: /path/to/delay/file/delay 5 /usr/bin/tomboy The first argument is the delay required, and the rest of the command line is then passed to the exec process. ** Attachment added: "Short delay script" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22998213/delay -- tomboy sometimes starts with search dialog rather than as minimized applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
