[tomboy-list] Couple of bugs, one crasher

[Ari El]

Just to confirm what Tim says below.

I had one invalid note out of about a hundred, and this was triggering the
problem. I could fix it and both problems have been fixed.

Now one suggestion: It would be great if tomboy can inform which the
offending note is (filename), before crashing due to an invalid note. My
note collection grows larger and larger as time goes by!

Thanks for this great app (together with the web browser I find myself using
it all the time while at the office!)
