 That's the English key (which I mentioned is the original monkey
 wrench) as illustrated in the first link I posted.  However, it's
 possible that's what Anne was referring to, but if so, I misunderstood
 her pin reference (which as I said I couldn't picture based on her
 description, so it's quite possible I /did/ misunderstand, thus the
 request for some image so I could picture it, as well).

An amazing number of solutions to a single problem :-)  Your Crescent Wrench 
is the one that I have - a slightly smaller and lighter version of David's.  
None of the other pictures look like the other one he uses. Imagine a single 
piece of iron, like a flattened umbrella handle.  Underneath the curve is 
serrated to be one half of the jaw, and down the straight are a number of 
holes.  A second, entirely separate piece of iron fits around the handle, with 
the curved upper surface being serrated.  There is a single hole, where a pin 
locates it into the adjustable part.  It's a very primitive tool, to my eye.  
Maybe I can get a photo of it.

 hello:
 
 I don't now why the okular does not print.
 
 When put for print okular not send anything to the printer.

I assume you are printing a PDF file, and that printing from other programs 
does work?  Okular cheats with PDF's, calling the lpr command to print, which 
sometimes causes issues.  On Debian make sure you have the cups-lpr package 
(name may be slightly different) installed for best results.

If you run Okular from the command line then try printing, you should see the 
output from the lpr command and any error messages.  Copy-and-paste the 
command oud output here and I'll try figure outwhat is wrong.

Cheers!

You're wanting to configure your Cups printer default settings, you can do 
this 3 ways.

1) Go into System Settings, Printer, choose the printer and configure the  
options.

2) If you have an HP printer run the HP Device Manager (hp-toolbox), select 
your printer, and configure the settings under the 'Print Settings' tab.

3) In your web browser go to http://localhost:631/ and configure Cups there.

  In the right part of the widget are entries of my calendar shown. So you
  may have no calendars in Korganizer/Akonadi and because of this the area
  is clear.
 
 I don't have KOrganizer installed (since I don't need an organizer).  I
 also don't have Akonadi installed either.  Because of that, I think that
 empty area shouldn't be there.
 
 I guess I should report this as a bug.

Yes please.  It shows Holidays and Akonadi events, but is blank if there are 
none.  We should probably have a header or message of some sorts if there are 
no events or holidays in that month, and no space if the user doesn't have 
Holidays or Events enabled.

One suggestion was also to show a mini weather forcast in that space, or the 
other selected timezones.

 Too bad.  I had the idea to enable nearly all of them so I could learn
 about the holidays of different cultures (at least for the Latin/Roman
 Alphabet, Russian and Chinese look really cool, but don't help me know
 what to wikisearch/google, but for instance Spanish and French are at
 least searchable since they're Latin alphabet), getting them in one big
 scrolling list.  But it just cuts down on the number of days displayed,
 then.  (Tho I /think//hope/ it'd display all holidays for the currently
 selected day, at least, even if there's like 20 of them.)

That's an idea I've had for a Plasma widget for a while, World Holidays 
Today, must get around to implementing it.  It would be handy in the Kontact 
Summary screen too.  One problem is the holidays are only in their native 
languages for now.
