Replacing Tomboy with Gnote in Fedora GNOME group

Hi,

I just packaged and pushed in Gnote, a a port of Tomboy to C++ for
rawhide (and Fedora 10), a couple of days back. Gnote is compatible with
Tomboy and you can just cp .tomboy to .gnote and use the notes. The user
interface is exactly the same.

The default GNOME group includes Tomboy which pulls in a considerably
large number of dependencies. A quick test on a system pulls in 34 MB
worth of dependencies (including 4.6 MB for Tomboy alone), while a
install of Gnote pulls in just 582kb (I have not counted gtkmm since it
is already required by gnome-system-monitor). Tomboy is not installed on
the live cd already due to lack of space. Perhaps we can squeeze in
Gnote as a replacement for Tomboy in the Fedora GNOME group?

As a side note, anyone interested in gnote, feel free to sign-up as
co-maintainers.

Rahul
