[Bug 366611] [NEW] Kubuntu 9.04 calendar popup is not a proper popup

[Alan Jenkins]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-plasma

Clicking on the clock in the Kubuntu panel displays a calendar popup.
Clicking on the clock again hides it.

However, it's not a proper popup.  It behaves much more like a deranged
version of a Plasma applet.

1) Clicking elsewhere does not close the popup (although it stays in the foreground, on top of all other windows).
2) It is possible to move the popup by dragging on the title, much like a plasma applet
 - it then sinks into the background, like a normal plasma applet
 - after moving it, plasma may crash.  This seems to happen if it is moved behind another window.
 - after being moved, it jerks into position in a strange way
 - after moving it, clicking on the clock shows an empty popup instead

3) Clicking on the calendar icon to the left of the title text causes it
to "unexpand" - that is, only the title text and icon are shown.  This
is pointless; it's a _popup_.  I either want to see it or I don't!  I
don't need it to be able to show a collapsed version of itself which I
have to expand to use.
