Can we hope this bug will "just go away" in the gnome-2 port?


I don't know if it is related but that calendar widget has an odd mask 
on it.  When you click on any area of the calendar that is both hiding 
a register cell and not a "hot spot" (i.e at the edges of the date 
grid, on the month name, on the day names etc.), the calendar is 
dismissed and the register responds as if you had clicked in  whatever 
cell happened to be beneath the part of the calendar you clicked on.  
(If you try this on the last record of a register in "basic style" you 
won't see this odd behavior -  the calendar does not hide any register 
cells.)
