Tomboy should not be present in Applications>accessories menu since it is supposed to be added to the panel like an applet

(i'm currently running Hardy alpha )

(and that Tomboy actually IS in applets list)

Besides Tomboy in Applications>accessories menu doesn't start automatically with GNOME session, whereas Tomboy applet does

I agree. I suppose the problem is discoverability, though.. if Tomboy isn't added to the panel by default it's hard for users to know it exists in the default install.

then this a panel bug, and maybe a menu entry to manage panel applet should be added to System>Preferences

Bug 525523 – Add an "add applets to panel" entry in System>Preferences menu for discoverability purpose
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525523

Now we can focus on the present bug concerning the duplicate Tomboy menu entry in Ubuntu...

From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited2 :
"There should be a single point to access each function of the system "

it should be looked by a desktop-dev , marking it as triaged, thanks.

Hi, marking this as Wont Fix. We want to leave people with the option to not have tomboy running all the time and to be able to launch it themselves.
