Package: xdkcal
Version: 0.9d-2
Severity: normal
GNOME and KDE use a full-screen below-everything-else window to draw
desktop icons. Apparently, that's the only way to do such things in X.
The problem is that xdkcal tries, and succeeds, to put itself below that
window. The result is that xdkcal is completely hidden and there's no
way to bring it to the front. This is a common problem with programs
that draw to the root window, but xdkcal seems to create its own window.
It might be possible to fix this with some kind wm hint, but I'm no X
wizard. If this can't be fixed, I suggest putting some kind of note in
the description or the man-page.
