From: Josef Lowder <[email protected]>Is there a digital sticky notes utility for Linux? Ideally, it should allow quickly typing a short note on the commandline to be displayed as a *very small* note (about 2" wide by 1" tall)in a pre-defined spot on one of the multiple desktop/workspaces ... with no title, no menu, no icons, no border, and no other clutter?name=`dcop knotes KNotesIface newNote "title" "new note contents"` dcop knotes KNotesIface resize $name WIDTH HEIGHT dcop knotes KNotesIface showNote $name (moving it to a specific virtual desktop probably requires using wmctrl, but that's pretty easy.) ...however, there will be a title bar on that, and it's sort of KDE-specific. There's a *lot* you can do with dcop. Finding a "notes" program that lacks a title bar will be the hardest part of this question, I think.
I like Tomboy for this kind of thing. They look like OSX Stickies, but add a taskbar menu which lets you see all your notes quickly. It supports wiki-like inter-note linking. I'm not sure Tomboy supports the 'enter a note on the command-line' part, but you might be able to bash-script your way to happiness using Tomboy as a foundation.
