I still think the Calendar should be a separate tab on the overview that does all that and more, and that clicking on the date/time would bring you into the overview and take you to that tab.
But I'm not a designer. Additionally, the designers don't really subscribe to this list because design by mailing list has been proven not to work. After gnome3 is released, hop on irc.gimp.net. #gnome-design is where you want to go.
