Can anyone explain the deal with the GNOME sticky notes applet and its
disappearance in Fedora 12?
My limited understanding of it is that the sticky-notes applet was being changed to support scrolling windows and other new features, but suffers from a crashing bug that prevents its usage. Instead of fixing the bug the configure lines to build it were commented out!
I copied in the previous version code with a custom RPM and I am happily using sticky notes. I cannot use gnotes or Tomboy as I do not like the space taken up by the menu bars and the task tray. I keep my notes always displaying, not hidden. If I find time I'll try to fix the crashing bug or create a patch to use the older code. However, the older code isn't much better as there seems to be a nasty bug where the notes are deleted upon rebooting at random.
