[tomboy-list] Tomboy won't launch on Mac

[Sandy Armstrong]

Yeah, this is a problem only with the latest version of Mono.  They
replaced some underlying libraries and broke our gtk/mac integration
code.  Until we fix our code, you'll need to install an older version
of Mono if you want to keep using Tomboy.

Here's the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656680

I am not 100% sure which version of Mono introduced the change,
though...I'm pretty sure that earlier 2.10.x releases work fine, but
you may need to completely uninstall the newer Mono to be able to use
the older one.

We might want to start bundling all of our dependencies, including
Mono, the way Banshee does, if we want to have more control over bugs
like this.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

Let me know if you need any further help.
