That will take some thinking about, as I really don't know any other way 
to use it at present.

I have just added a launcher for gnote to the KDE quicklaunch icons on 
the task bar, however this launches into the search window and it's not 
instant. Previously gnote was launched once at boot and was instantly 
accessible.

The major regression I see is the missing 'MRU'? list that was in the 
context menu, this seemed to "learn" commonly used and recent notes and 
more often than not the note I needed was in it, making a search 
unnecessary.

A new note was one right click and one left click away, both adjacent in 
the bottom right of screen - now I need to start the application (bottom 
left of screen) click on the 'new' icon (top of screen). Not major but 
still a regression.

If I have gnote open but minimized it seems that I now have to search 
through the task bar to check if it is already running before I use it 
again - either that or end up with several instances running 
concurrently - ugh!

I am sure I will find more niggles, although I will probably revert to 
3.14.x quite quickly as old habits die hard!

Nice to hear ;) - maybe others will have some comments.
