Re: [gnome-flashback] sticky notes applet from gnome-applets-3.18.2 on Ubuntu 16.04

["Sebastian Geiger (Lanoxx)" <lanoxx gmx net>]

Dear Florian,

The notes should be saved unter $HOME/.config/gnome-applets/stickynotes 
you find the code in gnome-applets/sticky-notes/src/stickynotes.c there 
are two functions stickynotes_save_now and stickynotes_load that should 
be responsible for that. It seems that the code fails to create the 
required directory structure if it does not exist. This results in the 
following log message in my journal:

Sep 12 09:52:21 hostname 
org.gnome.panel.applet.StickyNotesAppletFactory[30150]: I/O warning : 
failed to load external entity 
"/home/username/.config/gnome-applets/stickynotes"

A work around would be to simply create the folder gnome-applets in 
~/.config, but if you want to provide a patch that fixes this, it will 
be most welcome.

Cheers

Sebastian
