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.
