Bug#275819: gnome-applets: Please include patch for hiding hidden sticky notes at startup

[Hervé Cauwelier]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental patch

I was about to file a report about hidden sticky notes showned at startup when I
looked at Gnome buzgilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153721
I've put my report as a comment (#4)

When searching I found the bug was even older:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151832
The good news is that there's a trivial patch:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=32275&action=view
The bad news is that there's no answer for a month.

Please include this patch.

Note this sounds like a "wish" report but I kept the "minor" status I used for
the draft I've commited in Gnome's bugzilla. I still consired it's a bug.
