Sandy, I just submitted the attached patch to the Ubuntu package, because I didn't think it was interesting for upstream, but if you think so, let me know and I'll commit it to git master

Rodrigo, don't you need to include the title and two newlines at the beginning of the <note-content> ? I'd be surprised if this patch works properly without the title in there (see the other two start notes for examples).

And yes, I agree that this should only be a downstream patch. In the future, we may adjust the upstream start notes to mention Tomboy Online, and at that point we could collaborate on the best way to handle this downstream so that you don't send mixed messages.

Sandy, You are right. We need to include the title of Ubuntu One. Right now it shows the first sentence of the note as the title. I'm attaching a screenshot with an example. This is using a package Rodrigo built today.

When you're getting closer to putting in the message about Tomboy Online let us know so we can make sure the messages don't confuse users.

Yup. I don't expect it will happen until next cycle (GNOME 3.0).
