Thank you so much for your reply! .

The file I was looking for -- stickynotes_applet -- was indeed in the ~/.gnome2
subdirectory. 

In a move that would give Sysiphus a good laugh or two, however, in my
excitement I subsequently managed to a) NOT make a preventative copy, and b)
move and overwrite the older file with the [empty] new one. I'm the guy in the
computer practices poster that warns newbies what NOT to do... Sigh.

Sorry for the delay in replying: I'd been at work and didn't check the gmane
page for several days. Seeing your reply (as well as Anthony Baldwin's) made my
day. I think I was also too embarrassed by my own klutziness initially to reply
right away. But maybe my experience can also help others.

Your reply definitely helped a lot! Merci beaucoup!
