As we do make heavy use of > the GnomeDateTime widget, this is interesting. Actually, it's a custom widget based on the GnomeDateTime widget. (gnc-date-edit.c in src/gnome-utils). The main feature, apart from doing i8ln, is support for hot-keys for changing the date. Does this new widget support that? It is very important for GnuCash. Another date widget that GnuCash uses is gnc-date-delta.c which is used for selecting selecting timespans (4 weeks, 2 months, etc.). Yet another date function is selecting relative dates (first of this month, etc.) I believe evolution has equivalents for the last two functions. I'm not sure if it has hot-keys for changing the date. dave
