Any good Desktop Wiki?

Hi,
I've been searching around for a good Desktop wiki, but I was quite disappointed.
So far I have tried Tomboy, Zim and Newton (which didn't even start). While I like the concept of wiki, I don't like the poor features of those apps.

I am looking for something that would help me writing notes for my essays, especially being able to write notes on the side of the page without messing up the body of the text.

So far I haven't found anything of that sort, and I'm not so sure a Desktop wiki is what I'm really looking for, perhaps it's called something else?
Note that I would like to have the wiki features as well, i.e. linking to other files easily as on Tomboy or Zim.

Is there anyone who can help me out please?

Thanks!

Do you mean something like Microsoft's OneNote (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onenote)?
Maybe you want to have a look at BasKet (http://basket.kde.org/).

Thanks, I'll give a look to basket, even though I would have much preferred a Gtk application...
Thank you

If you don't mind the lack of gui, than vim can be turned into a powerful wiki:

I'm not so proficient in Vim, but for the few things I can do with it (i.e. basically editing of text files) I must say that it's one of the best text editors I've ever tried, very enjoyable. I will dig that, too, since using the mouse while typing text is not so ideal.

By the way, I'm quite impressed with Basket.
