Yes, I've read the textbooks too, but in this case I wanted the
calendar window pop-down when you click somewhere else (just like
normal pop-up's). I'm not a Gtk guru, so I tried to solve it from what
I knew: make the window modat, grab any event, and if it's not for me
I pop down the window. Unfortunately I have not got the time to
investigate how to grab events, so my patch did not contained that
code.
The calendar window does not aim to be a modal window from the
philosofical point of view, It's made modal just to obtain some
pop-up-like behaviour.
I know that my problem whould have been best solved by writing my own
widget, but I'm not that good yet.
Best Regards,
Alex.
