Or click on another date, gnomecal will then redraw and update with the changed
records.

gnome-pim is abandoned. Evolution will replace it. If you can give me very precise

samples of data that corrupts (not just "periodic events"), but something like
"an event on bla date from x to y o'clock set to repeat at blablabla", can maybe
help me actually fix it, but I'm too busy to search for the bug without concise
info.

And also, I've given up on the gnome-pilot bts. There are too many odd & invalid
bugs (thanks bugbuddy) and debian bts is too much of a bitch to use.  I'll solve
this
somehow.

(oh, this isn't mean to sound harsh or anything, it's just the sorry state that
things
are in these days).
