[tomboy-list] Couple of bugs, one crasher

[Boyd Timothy]

This problem occurs regardless of what note you might be working on
(not exactly sure why on that one).

I *have* been able to reproduce this one *when* I have an invalid note
in ~/.tomboy/

What you have to do is track down the offending note and fix it before
other notes (and Tomboy in general) will behave properly.
