Hi guys,

And don't forget the main point why I have added it: korganizer.
Try to reschedule an overdue TODO item, when it has a due date already a few 
month ago ...

And I'm pretty sure, that even in the kicker the today button makes sense:
If you just want to quickly look for a certain date (e.g. what's the day of 
the week for the 8.December - holiday this year ?, etc.), its also nice to 
have the today button to go back and look for other dates quickly.

Regarding the confusing User Interface Layout "Today Week 33", I provide with 
this patch an alternative solution: I have moved the "Today" Button to the 
left side of the Input field. Have a look at

P.S: I have found another bug in kdatepicker: Try to enter 14.08.2003555 ...
