I am looking for a type of "desktop calendar" application for Linux. Several folks have large (physical) calendars on their actual desk. They are well-suited for writing down appointments, exam dates, interviews, etc. I would like to have an application that runs on my desktop, if possible, that simulates one of these large physical calendars. A grid for the month, each cell representing another day. And, perhaps, I could click on a cell with my mouse and bring up a text editor or something to look and and change that day's agenda. Best case, I think it would be nice if this calendar application ran in my root window of X (of course being customizable, colorful, etc.). Even a text mode (ncurses, s-lang, maybe) calendar would be nice, with some of the same features: indicate a cell to view/edit. Running with a program like screen, the text-mode version would be very nice. Anybody know of something like this? Or would it be a good project for me? Thanks. Matt
