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 
closing it by re-clicking the time is more intuitive if they know it actually 
does that.
So what about letting them know it actually does that, by, for example, 
highlighting the time when the calendar is open? Something like in OS X. If the 
calendar is open, the time in the panel is highlighted, and closing the 
calendar brings the time back to its original state. It shows users the 
relationship between the two, in an intuitive way; they will be able to find 
out how it works on themselves.
Do you think that's an idea?

So I propose this fix for this complete bug:
1) When the calendar is open, highlight the time in the panel
2) Show something like a paperclip or other icon on the calendar, and when 
clicked, the calendar stays around and doesn't close automatically (or the 
other way around: when clicked, it always disappears after a while).
