   That *was* the case, but I just set up evolution to be able to see my 
google calendar.  I don't *use* evolution, but with that set up, the gnome 
clock picks up calendar entries and displays them in the calendar popup.

   Unfortunately, it (necessarily) does the calendar lookup asynchronously, 
so I get the calendar up in the right place (attached to the panel), then a 
couple of seconds later (slow Net access) days with entries are emboldened 
and a new section of the calendar is added called "appointments".

   This latter makes the window bigger and so it covers the applet/panel as 
described.  Every time.

   I did find an inelegant work around, in that if I have any days in the 
calendar with no entries near the start of the month, I can select them and 
the appointments field goes away (as it's day-oriented).  That puts the 
window back to the size it was when it opened, and I can close it.

   But I won't be able to see more than a few appointments, and it's a bit 
of a faff.
