[tomboy-list] Exception after installing Tomboy 1.10

[Luís de Sousa]

Dear all,

I found this bug report, that essentially says that Tomboy 1.10 by default
doesn't run on Ubuntu 11.10:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/process_bug.cgi

The fix suggested there is to include the "--runtime=v4.0" argument in the
tomboy script. Hence I changed my script to:

MONO_OPTIONS="$TOMBOY_DEBUG $TOMBOY_TRACE $TOMBOY_PROFILE $MONO_EXTRA_ARGS
--runtime=v4.0"

Still I get the exception reported initially. In the bug report there's a
link to a page detailing the issue:

http://orangesquash.org.uk/~laney/blog/posts/2011/10/mono-gotcha/

Here the suggestion is to include this argument when invoking mono. I did
so, but there's no reaction, the application simply freezes:

$ mono --runtime=v4.0 Tomboy.exe
[INFO 11:31:36.484] Initializing Mono.Addins

If I understand it correctly I have to recompile Tomboy, but against the
mono-csc compiler. Could someone explain how to do this?

Thank you,

Luís
