Whilst playing around with Easystroke and trying to add a new gesture for opening a new Tomboy note,I've discovered that the tomboy --new-note command only works if tomboy itself is not running yet,otherwise it brings up the main search window again (from the minimized state),the terminal output looks like that:

Code: Select all: tomboy --new-note (Tomboy:6447): libtomboy-WARNING **: Binding '<Alt>F11' failed! (Tomboy:6447): libtomboy-WARNING **: Binding '<Alt>F12' failed! [INFO 13:13:07.401] Initializing Mono.Addins [ERROR 13:13:07.750] Tomboy is already running. Exiting...

whilst the output when successfully opening a new note (when Tomboy is not launched yet) gives the following warning :

Code: Select all: tomboy --new-note [INFO 13:13:25.084] Initializing Mono.Addins (Tomboy:6452): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference.

I may be wrong but that seems a buggy behavior to me,any idea on what is actually going on ?
Should I file a bug on Launchpad?

There's no point in submitting this bug on Launchpad, assuming you mean Linux Mint's Launchpad. Upstream bugs you should submit upstream. Please only use Linux Mint's Launchpad to submit bugs in Linux Mint developed software (though use GitHub for Cinnamon), not for software developed in other projects. Tomboy bugs go here: https://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/Bugs. Note that Tomboy also has an IRC and a mailing list (https://live.gnome.org/Tomboy), you might want try to those before submitting a bug. And of course search their bug database for existing similar bugs first.

Ok,there was no bug reported for this,it is reproducible easily both on my LMDE installation and in a virtualbox,so I've filed one.
It looks a bit weird to submit a bug to Gnome for a bug actually happening in MATE,I don't know how well they will play along with a fork of a dismissed version of their own desktop,but I'm maybe overthinking this

Same issue happens when doing:

tomboy --open-note "Some Note"

I am not sure if this is any help to anyone or not but I keep 'Tomboy' icon on my panel.
As you can see it will lauch notes, search, and create new ones.
