I have a working patch that makes gnome-screensaver display (and save) a Tomboy note instead of sending a notification. The patch is maintained in bzr.

I'd appreciate knowing whether people think that is a better solution than just sending a notification or popping up some dialog.

It is very much a work-in-progress at the moment though, and has a few rough edges. For example, it will fall back to notifications if Tomboy isn't running, even though Tomboy ships a DBus service (it should just start Tomboy). It currently sets the title of the note to the data and time that the note was left, but I don't know if that is the correct thing to do. If any of the DBus calls to Tomboy fail, the note gets silently lost and doesn't fall back to using notifications yet. And I was going to use a gconf key to set whether to use notifications or Tomboy.
