Gah.  What I think you want is more like this:

0: create a knote on the right virtual desktop of the right size.
Get that knote's note ID with "dcop knotes KNotesIface notes" and
parsing.

1: dcop knotes KNotesIface setText $NOTE_ID $text_to_set

...wrap a brief shell script around that and you should be good
to go, even though knotes has a title bar.
