(sorry if this is duplicate, not sure if the first one went through)

Am I the only one who finds the controls of the sticky notes applet 
counterintuitive?
Here's how I'd imagine it:

- the panel icon has a little arrow next to it
- clicking the icon opens a new note
- clicking the little arrow opens a list with the titles of notes you've 
created so far
- this list allows you to toggle the visiblity of notes individually. 
visible notes have a check mark next to them in the list
- the list also has a "show all" and "hide all", and maybe a "delete 
all" option at the bottom
- clicking the X in the upper-right corner of a note only hides it. 
deletion has a separate button, like a little trashcan in the 
bottom-left corner

IMO, basic control of an applet like this should not have to involve the 
right mouse button.
