As you say, I can always set "Always on top" via a couple of extra key strokes every time I create a new note, and this is indeed what I am doing.  Every time I create a new note.  That's my point.  And if I forget to do it, then my note disappears behind the browser window when I move the focus onto the text I want to copy and paste, and it takes me another few mouse clicks to get the note back and "pin" it before I can do the job I am trying to do.  If there are other people using Gnote who are also doing this every time they create a new note then having a setting in Preferences so that you didn't have to do this every time would be helpful, that's all.  I like Gnote and I use it a lot, but I thought this might make it a little better.  

Clearly some people will use Gnotes in a different way and might not want a New Note to be always on top, so I thought you could add a check-box to the Preferences to that if it is set, each New Note will open with the Always On Top checkbox already set "on", and if it is not set the Always On Top checkbox would behave as it does currently (i.e. check-box is off).  This seemed to me to be a reasonable suggestion.

But I'm not a programmer, so perhaps what I'm asking for is "unreasonable" because it's too difficult programmatically?  Or perhaps you are just trying to keep the application as basic and simple as possible to avoid it getting bloated with too many features?
