After a quick search in aptitude, I see:

xfce4-notes-plugin (only works in xfce, apparently, I haven't tried it)
xpostit (claims to do what you want, haven't tried it)
xpostitplus (like xpostit, with some extras like resizing)

One of those might do what you want. (I'd try probably xpostitplus 
first, given it's description).
