Yes, it's more like a power-user feature. I recon, though, that Tomboy 
has some command-line parameters that can create notes, open notes, etc. 
When i first saw this, i actually thought it was the solution to my needs.

Using DBus would require Tomboy to be running for notes to be edited, right?
Note that i probably won't have the time to work on this. Still, it's 
good to clarify things if someone else wants to take care of it.
