Hi, > Should Gnote run as some sort of background service without a tray icon > in this situation (perhaps a --background or similar command line > argument added to the dbus .service file)?

There already is a request for Gnote to not show it's window. If you think that silent mode would be used, add a comment to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653447 > > the upcomming Gnote 0.8 will use Search All Notes as it's main window > > and status icon will be disabled by default. > > I haven't tested this with 0.8 yet, so I'm not sure what will happen > with dbus activation. Will it display the "Search All Notes" window? (I > should just build and test.) Yes, it should open Search All Notes (by default), unless user configured to use status icon. > > However, please continue your work. > > Now that the upstream patch has been merged, I will find time to clean > it up and post it on github.

If it's usefull, well defined and does not require significant changes in Gnote design, I see no reason to reject it. -- Aurimas
