Sounds related to this, and it's really annoying that it hasn't been fixed yet:

Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I had a kernel crash today (I'm running a test kernel for the kernel team to sort out some issues I noticed that are not related to this bug). I had tomboy running as I use Tomboy daily for keeping notes on my work for the day. I had three notes open. 1: yesterday's work log 2: today's work log 3: notes from a meeting I had earlier this week. the only one of those notes that were NEW was today's work log. The kernel crashed, forcing me to power cycle the machine to reboot. After booting to a more stable kernel, I re-opened Tomboy and discovered that my three notes were completely gone. Missing as though they had never existed. There's no hint of them at all in .local/share/tomboy because of this, I lost all my notes from my meeting, meaning lost work and lost time. They have also apparently disappeared from U1. It seems as though tomboy synchronized and deleted the server side copies as well. I do not delete notes myself. I have status notes going back to 2010 when I first started using tomboy.
