Re: Unless tomboy is run directly from terminal, initialization assertion fails

I have an up to date Arch system with openbox on which I installed tomboy.  Tomboy works quite well, so long as I either open in a terminal manually or call a script to launch it from directly in a terminal.  If I attempt to autostart it with autostart.sh using the "tomboy" command, any terminal with the -e switch, or a script calling tomboy, it fails to start with the following output (please forgive the length, I want to be complete)

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates

I am not sure what this means, but it is really irritating.  I have tried so many ways to have various programs open tomboy in the autostart script, but the ONLY way to get it to open properly is to manually open a terminal and run the tomboy command.

This is tomboy 0.14.0 with gnome-sharp 2.24.1-1
