Well, it is possible that the Sticky Notes XML file has been messed up
somehow, and only some of the notes were suitable for import.  In that
case, the user would probably be interested to know that not all of
their notes made it over to Tomboy.  Perhaps it would be better if it
only showed "x out of y" in that case, and normally just said "Your
notes have been imported" as you suggest.  But I think it is too late
now to change that phrasing.  Maybe this could go into the next
release.
