Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.30.0-3

I have used Sticky Notes (launched from The GNOME Panel 2.30.2) successfully for some time. Sticky Notes automatically loads on startup and the notes are visible on the desktop.

This is no longer the case. After starting my computer and logging in, Sticky Notes (now taking up the entire screen) flashes briefly on the screen before closing. A small window titled Error now displays the following: 

"Sticky Notes" has quit unexpectedly
If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel.
Don't Reload   |   Reload

After clicking Reload, the same process repeats itself with a full-screen Sticky Note flashing momentarily, crashing, and displaying the same error message detailed above.

The following patch: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/commit/?h=gnome-2-28&id=26488f7c397fd3e41c7c64eaf2b14b577605e97e was already applied to stickynotes.ui
