A single Alt+Tab should bring note window back, when you go to browser
and forget to set note window "Always on top".

Suggestion on improving Gnote are welcome. But you can never be sure the
suggestions will be implemented.

The question is how many people use Gnote this way. Adding feature
almost no one uses is not reasonable, unless you are the one who adds,
uses and maintains it.

We don't reject because something is difficult. What we are trying to
do, is to make application simple to use with clean UI. That's why new
features are questioned, whether they are actualy needed.
