did you look under ~/.gconf* or ~/.gnome* ?

they might be saved on some obscure XML file. if you copied your $HOME
from one drive to the next (the right way. with tar/rsync or
whatever), then you should be able to use gconf-editor to find the
path to your sticky notes (assuming this program uses gconf to store
its database. like all good Gnome apps do.)

hope that helps
