name=`dcop knotes KNotesIface newNote "title" "new note contents"`
dcop knotes KNotesIface resize $name WIDTH HEIGHT
dcop knotes KNotesIface showNote $name
(moving it to a specific virtual desktop probably requires using
wmctrl, but that's pretty easy.)
...however, there will be a title bar on that, and it's sort of
KDE-specific. There's a *lot* you can do with dcop. Finding a
"notes" program that lacks a title bar will be the hardest part
of this question, I think.
