Package: gdesklets
Version: 0.36.1-4
Severity: minor

The general calender of events in the gdesklets calender desklet has
some events that aren't general, even though it seems to attempt to be
broad (by including dates like the Chinese New Year and Ramadan). Many of
the days on the calender are American. _Examples_ :

 * Daylight saving time - doesn't apply to everyone
 * Autumn doesn't begin on Sept 22 across the globe. 
 * July 4 is *American* Independence Day
 * Election Day is American

It would be better if the American dates could be put in a separate
"America" calender and the "General" calender remain general.
