Just from the top of my head without thinking about how it should be 
implemented. (it's difficult for me to explain in English in any way :)

I see a stack of notes - like a deck of cards - as the main widget. Each note 
is slightly askewed and has a tool tip showing it's title. You can drag a note 
out of the stack (deck) and put it elsewhere on the desktop and you can put a 
disconnected note back in the deck. You should also be able to somehow flip 
through all the notes.

I think what I'm saying is basically what Stephen wrote.
