Sheesh, yes, that's it. I launch the program from the clock the thin panel
at the top of the screen, and figured that there was a process daemon
somewhere.
If I have the gnomecal window open, then it works. If I have the window
open or iconified and click on the clock again, I get a second gnomecal
window.
Not what I'd expect at all! I'll write to the author...
