While on this subject, IMHO the actual interface isn't helpful when it comes
to set a period of days as non-working, eg. when you're marking vacations. In
order to mark several days as non-working I have to do, for each day (unless
I'm missing something):

1. select the day on the calendar
2. set its type to non-working
3. click the "Apply" button

... now imagine doing this for 20 days in a row =(

I believe that allowing multiple days selection with CTRL (and, if possible,
also with SHIFT for contiguous periods of time) would make this process much
simpler.

Anyone sees any problem with the proposed changes? Should I file a RFE on
bugzilla for this?

Regards,

Andre
