Tomboy shows the "Search All Notes" window on login under certain circumstances

[Scott Severance]

When I login to Gnome, Tomboy 0.10.1 (which is running as a panel item) pops up the "Search All Notes" window under certain circumstances.

My computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad R61i running Hardy. When I log in the normal way--enter my username and password at the GDM prompt--everything's fine. But when I log in using the built-in fingerprint scanner, several things happen differently. First, I get a prompt to unlock the keyring so that nm-applet can access my WPA key. While the password dialog is up (which doesn't appear when I log in using password authentication) and Compiz is still starting--before I have a chance to enter the password--Tomboy pops up its search window.

This is really odd behavior. I'm not sure whether the problem interaction involves thinkfinger, pam, Hardy's password manager (seahorse?), and/or NetworkManager. What is clear is that it doesn't make sense to pop up a search window unless explicitly requested.

I just tried logging out then back in using fingerprint authentication without rebooting. Tomboy behaved. In such a situation, NetworkManager leaves the wireless interface up.

thanks for the report, may you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce this behavior? your description is a bit confusing, thanks.

I think this might be a dupe of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/112703 - shouldn't be closed as Invalid then?

Raphael,

This bug is different from bug 112703, I think. This bug only occurred when I was logging in via the fingerprint scanner. For some reason which I no longer remember, I apparently didn't follow up on Pedro's requests for more information, and I no longer have the capability of testing whether this is still an issue, so the most appropriate status, I suppose, is Invalid.

Bug 112703 is about multiple instances of Tomboy running, which I don't think could have been the case in my situation.

Thanks Scott, opened bug #566703.
