tomboy Better Gnome Shell Integration

When using Gnome Shell, Tomboy is only accessible via the icon in the message area that is not always visible.

It would be nice if there was a better integration, e.g. the icon could be visible in the top bar; or even better, Tomboy could have an application menu (see http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/Features/ApplicationMenu).

(This used to be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663834.)

Yeah, I can see how inconvenient this is, definitely worth inplementing. Thanks for submitting the request here.

Ouch, actually as I've read this - it seems to be a GTK+ 3.x feature only, Tomboy is yet on 2.x and it would take a while to move it to 3.x (if at all, there are some roadblocks to that aside from resourcing, see #27).

So don't hold your breath, alas it would take some time to get implemented. Though if anyone knows a way for GTK+ 2.x app to integrate with Gnome Shell - I'm all ears.

You could use libappindicator. Together with this extension it will result in a menu in the top bar.
