The ideas of Omer Mano, Sjors Gielen and cenoura or Valsodarg both have merit.
Another addition would be a time-based hide. Before libnotify became common, I remember seeing popups with a little circular pie chart counting down a fixed period. Under some conditions (click, hover, long hover, whatever) the calendar could show with a similar chart near either a tear-off strip or a pin that would cancel the timer. The timer would communicate to the user the option to hold the calendar open longer. -- Drop-down calendar does not close unless you click on it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
