Quick note to desktop

[su]

Hello and thanks for keeping QS alive.
How can I take a quick note in plain text and leave it in the desktop?
I read in Howard Melman's User Guide about a Sticky Note action,
but I uninstalled Sticky Notes.
I searched for plugins and action in the prefs to no avail.
What I want to accomplish is much like what you'd do
when selecting some text in an app and dragging it to the desktop.
