           Summary: Tomboy produces a confusing 'Welcome' window at first
                    start of GNOME
           Product: openSUSE 10.3

When the user first starts GNOME after freshly installing openSUSE 10.3, the
Tomboy application produces a welcome window. Although this is understandable
from the application's point of view, it might be confusing for an
unexperienced user because he/she does not know what Tomboy is.

The confusion is larger due to the fact Tomboy window appears in a precise
moment when the user really would expect a welcome window, but one from the
operating system. It then leads to thoughts "what Tomboy? I meant to install
SUSE Linux??"

I would suggest one of:

1) do not start Tomboy by default after installation (let the user run it for
the first time, and let it make autostart if he/she wants it).

2) inhibit the welcome screen of Tomboy, or delay it until the user clicks on
the Tomboy icon for the first time.
