--- Comment #2 from Farran <[email protected]> ---
Sorry to double-post -- I've just discovered the discrepancy. 

In May, on the 16th, the 3rd-Lunar Month had a 30th day; but this date was
skipped in the KDE/Plasma/widget calendar. 

In reality, 16th of May was the 30th of the 3rd-Lunar Month. 
In KDE, 16th May is marked as 1st of the 4th-Lunar Month. 
In reality, 17th of May should be the 1st of the 4th-Lunar Month. 

On further exploration back and forward in time through the calendar widget, I
can see that this error actually occurs multiple times throughout the year; I
don't know why, but it looks to me as if the lunar month lengths have been
hard-coded -- incorrectly -- rather than calculated or derived. 

If I had to guess (and that's all I can do), I'd say that probably the lunar
months are 29 and 30 days long, but that the lengths differ each year, based
both on the Moon and on the length of the lunar year, because Tết (lunar new
year) falls on a different day every solar year. 
I would guess that the month lengths of another year have been transposed onto
every year.
