I liked the behavior of staying open until a second click to close it.
But I like Omer's suggestion in comment #11 too.

However, molecule-eye, the other applets you compare with, do they
actually have the same use case? Are there any other applets that give
information that a user may want to see while he's, for example, typing
his e-mail? You can't, for example, compare the calendar with the volume
control applet,
The current default behavior in Jaunty (not closing unless the applet is
clicked) is inconsistent with the default behavior of most other applets
and should be changed for consistency.
However, it would be nice to have the option of the calendar staying
open when clicking off of it, e.g. by having

Since the papercuts invalid list is growing , some good ideas are
getting lost , hence assigned it to Ayatana[after discussing with David
Siegel] for further consideration.
The "pin" sounds like a reasonable good choice.

The second option I believe is the ideal solution.

I can't believe the... lack of common sense... of some users.
Anyway, in general, they missed that clicking the time opened the calendar, and
didn't understand how to close it. I'm actually against having a close button,
since then there's two ways to close it and that could be confusing; also

Completely agree with Stephen. It has to have at least a "X" button that
can be clicked to close it. I have had to close the calender for others

Possibly but what if the user needs to switch application during the

The ideas of Omer Mano, Sjors Gielen and cenoura or Valsodarg both have

Another addition would be a time-based hide. Before libnotify became

I think an intuitive and probably easy-to-implement solution would be as

Nick Buchanan is correct, I think, that expected behavior would be for
the calendar applet to close in the same way other drop-down applets do.
However, the calendar is unlike other applets in that (as Textureglitch

adding options for such details only lead to non consitant desktop
behaviour between installations and confusing dialogs for users, that's
such a detail that users should be able to work with the behaviour
either way

Perhaps the best solution is to make it configurable:

I would like to propose further enchantments:
1. Open the calendar on prolonged hover over (User X hovers on the calendar for
5 sec or so and the calendar opens, it closes when the user click away or hover
out)
2. Integrate (or rather figure how to) integrate with Thunderbird.

I want to add a small note: the reason for keeping the calendar open on
KDE 4 is based on the following use case:
1) Tom, our example user, wants to write a document or he wants to book
something
2) Tom opens the calendar and go back to his application.
3) Tom can interact with the wanted applica
What Omer Mano wrote is something like KDE (at least 4.3) has, only it
has it in reverse:
1. When the user clicks on the time then focuses another window, the calendar
stays.
2. When the user drags the calendar away, it becomes a separate window.
Currently, the window then disappears right away
Actually, what would really be cool (though not in papercut domain)
would be the ability to undock the calendar, making it permanent. The
behavior would then look like this:
1. The user clicks on the time and the calendar appears. The user clicks on a
different window, and the calendar disappears
mpt, can you please offer a design suggestion for how the drop-down
calendar should behave when you click off of it?

Drop-down calenda
Agreed with last comment. This does not qualify as a papercut since
changing it as proposed could be seen as a regression by people who may
prefer the current implementation; thus this change should either be
done upstream, or requires the analysis of the design team to provide
guidance first.

I agree with Textureglitch. Maybe behavior like Yakuake's is in order:
It has a button; when pressed, Yakuake stays open even if it loses
focus, when unpressed it closes automatically. Though Yakuake's icon is
quite unclear, adding such a simple button would fix this bug for both
kinds of people: t

That sounds like a usability hack, Textureglitch. You can already
scroll in unfocused windows as long as the cursor is over them, so
that would still work. And if you'd like to be able to type in
unfocused windows, then use focus-follows-mouse which allows this
globally. But like I said, scrolling
Textureglitch, maybe that behaviour could be kept with a double-click?
It's only an utility and definitely should disappear like other applets
or menus.

I just checked if this behavior is common to other applets, specifically
volume control, screen resolution, network manager, and battery, and
these will close with a click anywhere outside the applet. In fact, they
