Wow. thanks for all the nice comments! 
See, I should have posted *before* I hung them. That sounds like a lot easier than what I did -- which was basically a couple of L brackets, but practically impossible to do without help. They're really light, so there's only two screws holding each one up at this point.
I ended up attaching the brackets to the wall first, then getting help to hold up the other end while I drove the screw into the cornice. I was only 1/4" plywood, so it was helpful to brace it along its length with a hardwood cutoff and a couple of spring clamps.
Here are a couple of pictures. It looks pretty ugly from the back, but it's all covered by by the curtains so you'd have to be really nosy to notice the ugliness.
