tomboy applet must be removed/added every time an update is done

[Wes Garner]

Every time an update is done - after restart, tomboy applet just shows gray vertical line
Tomboy does show in upper status bar
Once removed and added back, applet works as it should

AWN 0.3.1-bzr
http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu
Using Compiz/Emerald
intel i815

Does this only occur with the tomboy applet?

What is the terminal output when you run avant-window-navigator from the command line?

[nasrin (sba001)]

Same behaviour here with tomboy applet.
AWN 0.3.1 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main
when I start awn from terminal, tomboy applet appears at once. I get some output (see below) but thats more related to the battery applet I think. (Added battery applet but it doesn't appear at all, not even a vertical line).

output:

If it *only* happens with the tomboy applet, I'm inclined to think it's an applet specific issue.

And yes, that error message is related to the battery applet.
nasrin: is tomboy running when the applet is loaded?

[Wes Garner (wesgarner)]

Doing a reinstall of AWN and TomBoy seems to have fixed itself
Mine has been working perfectly for a few weeks on Intrepid using the AWN Testing repo

Also, note: TomBoy is opened up automatically during AWN's launch

[nasrin (sba001)]

Only happens with the tomboy applet, at least out of the applets I've installed. Tomboy is running when the applet is loaded, yes.

[Mark Lee (malept)]

So from what I can tell, this behavior doesn't occur with Intrepid, but it does occur with Hardy. Given that the Awn/Awn Extras packages in the PPA are generated from the exact same source, regardless of distro version, I think that this is a problem lower in the stack.

[Mark Lee (malept)]

I really don't know what to do about this bug, as it only occurs on Hardy.
