Tomboy 1.2.1 fails to create new note

[Jan-Helge]

Binary package hint: tomboy

Ubuntu 10.04 w/tomboy 1.2.1 upgraded from 9.10.

Attempts on creating a new note is greeted with an error dialog (attached).

Attempts to edit the "new note template" (via preferences) is rewarded with a crash of the process.

The problems started after the upgrade from 9.10.

The laptop in question has been running ubuntu since 8.04, and has followed the upgrade path.
