I think about something like the Pidgin transition, when the user data 
was imported from .gaim to .purple.
I believe (but not 100% sure) when first introduced Tomboy also imported 
the data from the sticky notes applet.

Yeah, it should be an upstream feature, IIRC it was one of the upstream 
requirements for Tomboy too.

And Tomboy is? From an user point of view the two are identical and I 
expect to launch them in the same way,
