I believe having reproduced the bug, actually, but it doesn't reproduce easily. It seems to be a race condition, it can be both in GTK+ and the notes plugin. The cause can certainly be the theme, since GTK+ and theming are two things that don't fit well, but I can't change anything about this. The solution is to simply stop / restart the plugin.

I have reproduced the same symptom but with a different program and switching to a theme different than Aurora is the only solution currently.

Thank you for sticking with this problem and finding the issue, this is very helpful. I didn't expect this could happen, I will prepare a fix in the next version to prevent this situation.

Switching to another theme (e.g. Greybird) it launches with any issue. I believe this bug would be solved once this plugin gets ported to gtk3.
