Update:

dnormandin at select-man:~$
ps ax | grep notes
 1931 ?        S     37:12
 /usr/lib/xfce4-notes-plugin/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-notes-plugin
 socket_id 27263019 name xfce4-notes-plugin id 12982999160
 display_name Notes size 31 screen_position 2

30 to 40 minutes after booting my system, the Notes icon appears in
the Panel (Note: not the Notification Area). Notes works OK when it
finally does appear. Does this scenario give any clues as to what is
going on? Still a DBus thing?
