  I'd like that too :-/  I use both that style of notes *and* the 
application-based one (I use tuxcards) for differing sorts of note.

  The sticky-notes-applet you've probably seen is the old GNOME-2 
panel-based applet which won't work under GNOME-3 (not even, I think, for 
the fallback mode, but I could be wrong there).

  I did manage to add a couple of patches for it a while ago, but it's been 
sadly (and stupidly IMHO) neglected for a while now.


  The only alternative I envisage would be a gnome-shell extension that 
mimics the functionality, but I don't think anyone's written one yet.  I 
might look into it myself if I find time.
