Well I can answer at least part of my own question. Although it is not clear why people are not interested in a note-taking program that can be synchronized over several machines. The tomboy database ends up in .local/share in your home directory. The same directory that the gnote database is in. The synchronization option indeed appears in tomboy but in a funny way. When you add tomboy to you panel it is represented by the same icon as gnote.However, as soon as you click on the the first icon a second icon appears. They do not have the same functionality. Only one allows you to evoke the synchronization function. Copying the gnote database to the tomboy directory , then logging out and logging in evokes the note manipulating function of tomboy. One mystery of how to set up the tomboy synchronization server is still unknown to me. Since I have tomboy only on one machine, so far, the question is mute at present. If someone knows how to do this I would appreciate hearing from them. -- ======================================================================= FACILITY REJECTED 100044200000; ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
