Yep, sorry, I thought this was obvious. I was just pointing at the
decoupling of the gnote app from the taskbar interface, and at the same
time confirming that you are not the only one missing the old
functionality (since somebody did write the extension).

Even when I used stickynotes (a simpler, now abandoned, GNOME taskbar
app - which I would miss a lot was it not for GNote), I always kept them
in a separated workspace.
But sure, that's certainly a matter of tastes (my heavy use of
workspaces is related to my limited use of the mouse), so I can
understand the loss of usability you experience.
