nope - we plan on implementing this in the next few weeks so will spec
it out as we go along

for services we would probably want the following for a file like
tomboy.service:

[Servie]
ServiceName=Tomboy
ServiceNameLocale= translated name of service
ServiceType=Notes

[Indexer]
DirectoriesToWatch = $HOME/.tomboy
Exec = tomboy-indexer %1


[UI]
Icon=notes
ViewerExec=tomboy %1


[ThumbNailer]
Exec=

In addition to the above we would need a tomboy.metadata file to specify
any custom metadata (like Note:Title, Note:Body, Note:Date etc)
