[Macpartners] moving user's stickies from one mac to another (leopard to snow leopard)

[Jonathan Reed]

You may be missing ~/Library/StickiesDatabase, which is where the  
actual note data is stored.

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Stickies.plist is just app  
preferences, no data.

~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist contains  
data for the Dashboard Stickies widget, which is unrelated to  
Stickies.app
