If you upgrade the notes plugin from the 4.2 panel, to 4.4, you will
*lost* your data.

The only way is to open the old file (an XML IIRC), and copy/paste the
data.  Dunno what version you are running, but the notes plugin 1.4
stores the data in a simple RC file: ~/.config/xfce4/panel/notes.rc.

And in case if you'll come back and ring for "multiple windows", those
aren't.  You can store multiple notes in tabs.  And, there are no
colors.
