Same problem here in testing after upgrading gnome-applets to 2.28.0-2.
I'm unable to start the applet and I cannot add it to the panel using my
default $USER.

If I create a new TestUser with an empty configuration, I can add the applet
to the panel but after trying add a note it crashes.
Opening the preferences I can see that it's impossible modify the default width
or height values (are locked with a zero).
It's also impossible to close the preferences dialog with the "close"
button.

I can see the same problems in a sid instance running under virtualbox.
