Stickies Offscreen
For some reason, my Stickies (a free Post-It note-like app that comes with Mac OS X) seem to sometimes want to wander off-screen. I first saw this after I started using a dual monitor system at work. Stickies often appear partially off-screen when the external monitor is not attached.
To fix:
- Quit Stickies while off-screen
- Resize the Display (use System Preferences, I recommend the smallest display size available)
- Start Stickies (you may want to make some change, even just dragging a window to a new position
- Quit stickies
- Resize screen to normal resolution
- Restart stickies
Stickies should be on-screen now.
Tested with 10.3.8 on a Powerbook.

I love Stickies!
The iBook I have for work (for the last 3 years) has only had one major meltdown, which was probably a bad battery.
Other than that, like you said, stuff just works.
But Stickies is a great little app. I use it for a weekly and daily to do list, as well as a place to jot down info in meetings that I'm not sure where I'm going to need it later.
