Bug Description

In current feisty Tomboy is spammed by notes that get created every minute. They are called (translated from german): "Note of the day: <date and time> (new)".

Since I have not linked my notes from other notes the only way to get to them is through the search function.

These notes do not physically exist in ~/.tomboy so they can't be easily deleted, too...

This makes Tomboy nearly useless for me...

I can confirm this here... though it doesn't happen always. I'll forward upstream

I solved the problem for myself by deleting the file which is producing these stupid notes with

sudo rm '/usr/lib/tomboy/Plugins/NoteOfTheDay.dll'

and

killall tomboy

After restarting tomboy, everything works out again. The "Notes of the Minute" are not there anymore, but everything still works. I don't know if this is a good / the correct solution, though, but it works for me.

This seems to be fixed for me in feisty.

If no one else is having problems this bug can be closed.
