I haven't set a callback function because I don't know where it should
call back to in Tomboy.

In my testing, I explicitly supplied a callback function in the URL,
which explains why I didn't hit this error; if you don't supply one,
then it uses the default one, which is (supposed to be) defined in
settings. I suggest setting OAUTH_CALLBACK_VIEW in settings to be
snowy.views.oauth_callback and define that view to render a template
which says "you have successfully OAuthed; now go back to Tomboy and
press the 'I have done it' button".

(There's the potential to have the callback function actually be a URL
which gets passed to Tomboy on the desktop, by having Tomboy open a
local webserver temporarily, but (a) that's stage 2, probably, and (b)
you'd be explicitly passing a callback URL then anyway so it won't use
the default.)
