Since knotes and xpad are being kicked around... Does anyone know of a light 
weight knotes style app that multiple users can access via a single server 
backend? I'm looking for such a solution.


Cheers.

Did you try xpad? It's gtk+-based, so there should be no problems with 
xfce. Seems to be quite lightweight and similar to what you're looking 
for.

[gentoo-user] knotes: cannot move around notes

[b.n.]

Hi,
I'm looking for a good sticky notes solution.

I use xfce4 as a desktop, but I run both gnome and kde apps when needed.
With a preference for KDE apps.

The xfce notes applet is buggy, crashy and very limited.
Tomboy is a nice application. Except it doesn't do what I'm looking for
(I really don't understand why tomboy always comes out when talking of
sticky notes application - it is not a sticky note application! it is
more a notetaking environment for ideas etc.)

So I tried to use knotes, and it seems very good, apart for the fact
that notes are somehow too sticky. I can click on them, edit them, but I
cannot move them.

I guess they need to run inside kde/kwin, but is there any workaround?

I also looked for other apps, but I found none.

Thanks,

m.

I just tried this, same effect here. But you can move windows in XFCE (and 
many other window managers) by clicking anywhere inside the window, with 
the Alt key pressed. BTW, the right mouse button resizes windows then.

For this aim I use a web-based notes service:
http://www.aypwip.org/webnote/

but sure it's less handy that a knotes-style thing.

Hmmm... Thanks for the link. I never would have found it and... this looks 
perfect.
