Since upgrading to Fedora 16 I notice that the popup calendar in the digital clock widget has event information, including a new panel to the right with an event list. That would be nice, except it cannot be turned off.
Plus I have no idea where the "event" are defined, or why some of the dates in the calendar have a box around them. Unchecking "Display Events" in the configuration dialog has no effect.
My system is up to date at 4.7.4-1

Current date has blue box around it. Other dates with boxes around them are hoildays. Hover over them to see what they are.

iirc, Display Events pulls items from your default korganizer calendar. If you have no such calendar or no items defined for the current month, seeing 'no effect' is expected.

What I really want to do is turn the events off. I don't use kontact or any of its siblings amd the boxes around the dates is just clutter to me.
I assume there is a bug since un-checking "Display events" has no effect.

OK, in that case "Display events" means something other than what you want. (disabling it completing is not possible, as far as I can tell, sorry).

I have configured Kontact with a default calendar with no entries, yet there are still holidays in the calendar popup. Where are they defined.
Plus (or minus) the configuration dialog has a "Holidays" section that does not work. How can I find out where that calendar get its data?
What does the "Display Events" check box control?

You can define your local settings in
systemsettings -> Locale -> Country/region&language -> Country
Choose the country where you live, and the calendar will display holidays local for that country. You can select "no country" in there, which probably doesn't have any holidays defined. Note that you may need to restart the digital clock widget or logout of KDE and log back in, if this is to work (clicking "apply" doesn't seem to be enough).
Come to think of it, maybe the "Display events" option also requires a restart of the widget.

The master settings is in the systemsettings locale, as above. I don't know where (on the disk) is the actual data. Also, I haven't tried the "holidays" section in the widget configuration.

I would expect it to do what it says, but possibly you need to restart the widget for it to take effect (haven't tried it myself though).

The "display events" check box is not checked and never has been as far as I know. So I'd say this is a bug. I'll report it and the fact that the "holidays" section doesn't work.
I'll try changeing system settings as you suggest.

"Display events" is for KOrganizer events, it has absolutely nothing to do with holidays.
and the fact that the "holidays" section doesn't work.
That one indeed looks like a bug, it always worked for me… Are you sure you're using it correctly? When I set everything to "not used", I don't get any holidays displayed on this F15 4.6.5.
