Hi, upstream Tomboy maintainer here. This check is still not exactly correct. As you can see on our wiki [0], notes go in XDG_DATA_HOME/tomboy. Yes, XDG_DATA_HOME defaults to ~/.local/share/ , but there are a lot of ways to modify that, and I have seen a lot of Ubuntu users making such modifications lately.

For Python, there's a package (pyxdg or python-xdg or something like that) that takes care of this for you, so I recommend using it.

Do keep the TOMBOY_PATH check, though...we still offer that as a way to override the location of the note directory.

Anyway, cool project! Thanks for supporting Tomboy! :-)
