Good to hear it. There are no alternate view settings. The "week start day" can't be changed to Monday either.

Look at the bottom of this page:

I used DateBk5 and wrote a script to clean up those note codes. It will likely work for DateBk6 too. I ran the script on my Linux desktop. Read carefully the part about floating events. The script will strip out floating events and convert them to todos. Neither calend nor Gene Cash's to_do program can import todos. I think you have 3 reasonable options:

1. Depending on how many you have you could contemplate manual entry of your floating events.
2. Use GPE Todo, which can import todos. Unfortunately calend and GPE Todo do not exchange data. So todos created in calend will still go to Gene Cash's to_do manager, but your other imported todos would be in GPE Todo. A final note on GPE Todo... to import todos you must use GPE calendar, which will populate the GPE todo database.
3. Change the script to not change vevents to vtodos. If calend sees a "category" field on a vevent, it considers it a todo. So you should keep or add categories to the floating events, and strip categories from everything else. Then when you import into calend, choose "Yes" to the dialog that asks "Make events with categories into TODOs?". You may need to first ensure that the correct categories are created in Gene's to_do app first.

The script depends on the python vobject library, which can be installed on Ubuntu with 'apt-get install python-vobject'. The home page is here if you need to run it on a different platform, e.g. the NIT.
