I don't believe gnote is part of the official GNOME applications list.

But anyway, Tomboy [which is an 'official' GNOME application] suffers
from the same issue.  Usability is reduced in GNOME3.

But if you start Tomboy (perhaps adding it to favorites) you can assign
a "Create new note" hot-key.  This works in GNOME 3.

So I just punch Ctrl-Alt-N and a new note window pops up.  But it
appears you have to have Tomboy running for this to work.

Perhaps you can (a) switch to Tomboy or (b) apply a similar work around
to Gnote.
