I think that knotes should behave more like post it notes... like so you can have them on the desktop, and they will stay there automatically on all desktops, and will NOT have an entry in the taskbar. also it might be cool to have them stuck to other windows so when you move that window the note moves too. like have a pin icon when it's clicked the note sticks to the window under the pin.

Ok, ok, another config option... will have to wait for KDE 3.3 though as we 
have a feature freeze already. For now just add 
  desktop=-1
to .kde/share/config/knotesrc under [WindowDisplay].

Hmpf, one user complains about having it, the other about not having it... :-} 
But there is a solution: grab the current KNotes and uncheck the button that 
says "Show Notes in Taskbar" or something like that :)

Hmm... no, that is not possible with the current API. I won't implement this.

Cheers,

like this pissy active desktop , but the right way embedded with the Desktop :-) maybe cool .. even shading notes would be great

Pinning to a window cant be implemented and everything except looknfeel has been resolved.
Depends on #99853.
