[tomboy-list] Tomboy : A couple of suggestions

[Boyd Timothy]

Thanks for the suggestions Didier.  Once we get 0.6.0 released, I'll
go through these and add them into the PlaceForNewIdeas [1] page
(unless you beat me/others to the punch) and look at which ones we
could pick up for Tomboy's next release (0.8.0).
