Comment 1 Sebastian Rittau 2002-07-03 22:15:06 UTC 
Since GNOME Calendar's to do component uses the stock GNOME DateEdit
widget, I'm reassigning this bug to the libgnomeui product.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2003-11-30 18:23:55 UTC 
Should this be an RFE against gtkcalendar?
Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2005-09-21 12:58:52 UTC 
Guess not.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2006-12-04 09:17:34 UTC 
Probably something that should be handled in the ned egg-datetime widget.
Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2010-12-21 11:01:03 UTC 
See bug 52372 for information about getting this type of functionality into GTK+.
