Tomboy: Global shortcuts don't work

[Igor Santos]

Since (I think) the launch of ubuntu indicators - and the move of Tomboy icon to that place - I noticed that hitting F12 to open the notes dropdown or alt+F12 to create a new note is not working anymore.
I've seen this bug in an Ubuntu 11.04 fresh install and also in Linux Mint 11 - based on Ubuntu 11.04.

Tried using compiz bindings to shortcuts to run "tomboy --new-note" or "tomboy --search" but they doesn't work as the global shortcuts offered by Tomboy.

Please, take a look at that, since it cuts a lot of usability and ease of use of Tomboy.
