Anyone know a plugin or application that emulates the Compiz Annotate functionality in Gnome 3? Annotate is the plugin that lets you draw on the screen.

Draw On Your Screen is a new Gnome 3 extension that works nicely for this too. I have been using Draw On Your Screen for the past year over Gromit-MPX (my previous answer) and really useful. The only caveat to it is that I can't leave the annotations on top and then switch back to mouse mode without them disappearing. Here are links to Draw On Your Screen.
