This is a suggestion to improve the interface in 31-Day mode.

When you view a calendar in real life, a user is inclined to want to
"write things down in the calendar".  They will click on the calendar
box in hopes that they can add a quick note or two.

The suggestion for the 31-Day mode would be to allow the user to add
events to the Calendar by clicking on the "Square" (implemented as a
Listbox) for the calendar.


As a rough pseudocode outline, you may be able to do the following:

-When you click once on an empty spot on the listbox, the user will be
allowed to type in a custom string to describe an event.

I think void QListBox::clicked(QListBoxItem *item) will allow
single-clicking on the listbox, and insertItem should let you insert the
user's string.  It would be best if you could enter text into the
listbox as you would a textfield, but I don't know if this is possible.

-This custom string will be entered into the calendar as an Event on
that date, with no time associated.  The user's text in the calendar
will be the title of the event.  All the other fields will be set to
default values.

And finally, I maintain that horizontal scrollbars in the 31-Day View is
very difficult to read and that the entries should word-wrap instead.
