Tomboy 0.3.0: how to run as a panel applet?

Compilation of 0.3.0 went fine on my Ubuntu (warty) system. If I run
without the --tray-icon option, I just get 'All done.  Ciao!' and tomboy
exits. Is there something I need to do to get tomboy running as a panel
applet? 

It's all working fine in the tray btw. Very nice job, Alex. I hardly
know what I'd do without tomboy after using it for a few weeks.

Yo,

To get the applet working the GNOME_Tomboy.server file needs to be
installed into same prefix the Panel was installed into.  So you
should ./configure with --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc and make install
as root.

You don't need to run a panel applet from the command line.  Once it is
installed correctly, you should be able to add it from the applets menu
in the panel.  The nice bonus is that adding an applet to your panel
adds it to your session, so it will be started automatically.

Thank you. That's got me a step closer!

I then got an error when I try to add the applet to the panel: 

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:TomboyApplet".

Details: Failed to resolve, or extend '!
prefs_key=/apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/applet_4/prefs;background=none:;orient=down;size=x-small;locked_down=false

I then ran tomboy from the command line, and got: 

cannot open assembly /usr/local/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe

I had a look at the /usr/bin/tomboy script and changed the paths for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and THIS_EXE (removing the /local/ bit), and all's

Hey,

Good snooping dude.  It looks like the tomboy script file isn't being
regenerated when you rerun ./configure, which is a bug.  I'll see if I
can't come up with a fix shortly.
