In case this is supposed to replace the current datepicker that pops up when clicking on a clock: When introducing KDE 4.0, there was a discussion on kde-usability about the functionality a datepicker needs. I don't think it is a good idea to replace the current datepicker by something that does not include the results of those dicussions. Artists should not ignore these things. The datepicker you showed on your blog lacks all functionality the current datepicker has in the bottom line, jump to today, selectable date and current week. Please make sure to fix this before you move it out of kdereview.
