Cool. I found a minor bug you might have fixed (but is not mentioned).
The notes are apparently saved when the panel exits gracefully or gets
the USR1 signal. Which means that ctrl+alt+backspace makes the unsaved
notes get lost. I put in a launcher to a small script to send USR1 to
the panel to save my notes.

Personally, I prefer single click on button 2 or button 3 for a new
note. Otherwise you might try a hack like this:

1- on click add an idle callback function which will activate in say,
50000 ms. (quite a long time). The idle callback will have the code to
hide/show notes.
2- on double click, cancel the idle callback function and do the double
click business instead.
