Jonas,

Have you heard of Tomboy[1]?  It sounds very similar to your idea.  You
may find it more worth your while to hack on it.  However, it is written
in C#, which may not suit you.

Of course you're always free to do whatever you'd like.  If you're
searching for a learning experience you probably won't mind reinventing
the wheel.  But if your use case is "I don't have a good note-taker,
I'll write one" then give Tomboy a look.
