This is probably a question for -devel, but I'm not subscribed to 
that list :)

I'm curious what the design thoughts are behind setting this up.  Are 
you planning on integrating with GnomeCal, or writing your calendar 
widget?  Can you just use shared libraries from GnomeCal without 
actually integrating with it?  In other words, I don't necessarilly 
want my monthly scheduled financial transactions showing up in my 
normal GnomeCal session.

On the other hand, if they were to show up in GnomeCal, then syncing 
these to my pilot would be automatic, and I could be reminded when 
away from my system that I still need to pay this months bills :)

Just curious which road you're planning on travelling down :)

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
