    [applet/notes] Show a "remove" button on the button row · ef9ecb60

    Summary:
    I've personally observed various users struggle to remove a Sticky Note widget, and heard
    anedcotal user reports about this too. Some people look for a close button and don't
    find one, never thinking to press-and-hold or right-click. Some people do right-click
    but right-click in the content area rather than the frame (which look identical), and see
    the context menu for the text rather than the widget itself.
    
    This patch alleviates this user confusion by adding a {nav Remove} button on the button
    row on the bottom of the widget, next to the {nav Configure...} button. This makes it
    very easy to remove a Sticky Note. This is not destructive because there's an undo, so
    it's not a big deal if someone clicks the button by mistake.
    
    It could be argued that this makes the applet inconsistent with other widgets which do
    not display visible {nav Remove} buttons, which is true. However the nature of the Sticky
    Note applet is that it is likely to be used in a more transient or temporary manner than
    other widgets; it often has more in common with a temporary document than a permanent
    fixture of your desktop. For this reason, I believe it is appropriate to show a visible
    {nav Remove} button on the widget.
    
    The default size of the widget is increased a bit so that there's room for the new
    {nav remove} button as well as the text control buttons.
