Bug Description

1 ) I use Kubuntu 12.04 KDE 4.8.3
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
uname -a
Linux yellow-945P-DS3 3.2.0-26-generic-pae #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:45:14 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2) apt-cache policy tomboy
tomboy:
  Installed: 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.10.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

But it also concerns package from 12.10 Quantal. I tested it on 12.04.

3) What was expected to happen:
There is an add-in "advanced preferences" that allows to set the number of notes displayed in Tomboy's menu. The default is 10 but this add-in allows set it to 18. It doesn't work on Kubuntu.
Notes menu should be accessible with left mouse click.

4 ) I can see only 10, while my total number of notes is 14.
Notes menu is accessible only with right mouse click.

Problem was already discussed in details on bugzilla.gnome.org

Tomboy uses KDE theme style. Maybe this has something to do with how it works, I don't know. With debug package it has GTK theme style and setting the number of notes works correctly.
So half of the job is already done by Alex from Tomboy team.

I don't know how it works with Unity so I am not sure who is right person to deal with it, Ubuntu or Kubuntu team. But both distributions use the same package.
