hi; I'd like to point out a couple of things:
• GnomeDateEdit is utterly deprecated, and has been for more than 5 years • even if there's a bug in that widget, it's very, very much unlikely that you'll ever see it fixed you can implement your own DateEdit widget with a GtkButton and a GtkCalendar inside a GtkWindow of GTK_WINDOW_POPUP window type, positioned relatively to the GtkButton's allocation coordinates.
