0.8.1-1

Sure, and enabled.

Oh yes, that's what I was missing! Seeing dconf keys, I thought all
configurations were there.

OK, that did partially work, so already thanks.

The problem now is that not all notes are loaded. When I start gnote
(after removing .local/share/gnote and .config/gnote), I only see some
of them, and in the terminal:

pietro@debiousci:~$ gnote

If I open the xml file with firefox, however, it reports no xml error
(and notice that notes are loaded perfectly with stickynotes itself).

Is there any particular xml validation I can perform to understand what
gnote doesn't like?
