   that has links to it in other notes in Tomboy, you can choose the default
   behavior Tomboy should use when detecting a change.  Your options include:
   </p>
   
   <list>
     <item><p><gui>Ask me what to do</gui>: Tomboy will prompt you each
     time it detects a change with one of the below options.</p></item>
     <item><p><gui>Never rename links</gui>: Tomboy will leave the other
     notes as they are and unlink the notes.</p></item>
     <item><p><gui>Always rename links</gui>: Tomboy will automatically
     rename all the links in other notes to the note you have renamed.
     </p></item>
   </list>
   
   <p>Choose one of the above options from the drop down box to the 
   right of <gui>When renaming a linked note:</gui> in the <gui>Editing</gui>

  <gui>Editing</gui> tab of Tomboy's Preferences. A new template will be

  new template.  Close the note to complete creating a new template.
