I always use Yumex unless I need to install something that was not in
the repositories. I'm just a bad searcher.

I should have mentioned at the beginning that command line tools are
not suitable for me. I almost never have a terminal window open. I also
should have mentioned that browser based calendars are not what I want
either. I already have too many tabs open all the time.

Orage is the winner! I have it configured and working great. Not only
does it do exactly what I want (and nothing more), but I learned
something from it. I was trying to change the way it displayed the date
and it said I could use any strftime code to change the way it
displayed things. I had never heard of strftime before, but now I have
a web page bookmarked where all the possibilities are explained. Very
handy knowledge to have.

Thanks for the tips!
