Comment 9 for bug 229538

Patch for package awn-extras-applets-python-extras version 0.3.2.2-2ubuntu1 on ubuntu karmic
# cd /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets
# sudo patch -p0 < calendar.patch
I used the eval / repr method previosly explained. I know it's a temporary workaround but it's better than having a buggy calendar if you need it.
