Description
What I mean by "pin to desktop" is :
Currently, when Show Desktop is clicked, the notes are hidden along with the rest of the windows.
In the old "sticky" cinnamon applet, the notes stayed on the desktop when "show desktop" was clicked or on startup.
I think it would be really good if this option existed in the new app!
Note: it's possible this feature exists but I simply haven't found it?
It might be doable by adding an exception for the notes to the "show desktop" applet instead (which is also not a feature that exists yet)

Research direction
Start by investigating how Sticky windows behave when Show Desktop is activated and during startup, and check whether an existing setting already controls this. Define the desired behavior for keeping notes visible, including whether it should be optional and how it interacts with the desktop's Show Desktop feature.
