Perhaps Tomboy could set-up some kind of local-only server? Then the
addon could access Tomboy that way. Or for a more hackish solution..
Tomboy could check some directory every X seconds, and the addon would
put new notes there. Actually, doesn't Tomboy now have an add-in to
watch the note directory? I don't know if that works on Windows.
