The Sunday/Monday options is indeed a setting, but it uses an xsetting interface that I have no idea how to use. The program does look for an xsetting value for this, but not knowing how to change it doesn't help.

Terrancegf made an extremely simple change and made it available to anyone who wants that option. I don't think Terrance intended this to be a permanent change to GPE, but I am glad he posted it here.

If anyone knows how to use xsettings and can change the Sunday/Monday option with that, please post here so people can see how to do it.

Good news! The latest "daily" version of Graham's GPE packages have these fixes to GPE Calendar (the close fix, not the week starts on Sunday fix) and GPE Summary. Follow the instructions earlier in this thread on how to add the "experimental" version of Graham's repository, but replace "experimental" with "daily". The version number you need is 20080616

Graham has stated that there will be a new version in extras-devel and eventually extras with these fixes in it unless he hears unfavourable feedback. I am trying the packages out now and like the other changes Graham made.

There is no longer an "auto refresh" mode in GPE Summary. It now reflects any changes made to events or todos when they happen. When you first close the new version of GPE Calendar you see a message warning you that you will not be alerted with alarms unless you are running GPE Summary or keep GPE Calendar open. You can "close," "iconify," or "cancel" and have it remember your answer.

Are those the only two changes you noticed?

I was looking through the packages and didn't really see much else than what was mentioned here (Not to say that isn't a lot - working alarms woohoo!).

I am hoping he will add to the settings for the iconify/close thing and a few other settings.

Know if there are any plans to add a sync to GPE Contacts for Google?

[STRIKE]There is a setting for iconify/close. It is accessible the first time you close.{/STRIKE] I just re-read what you wrote. I didn't see any other settings added, but there are some xsettings I have no idea how to change.

As far as google calendar, I don't know if any work has been done. Erminig is being maintained again, and there is a one-way download option within GPE calendar itself. When opensync becomes more usable on the tablets, I believe there is a google calendar plugin, but I am not sure how good it is,

Hmm, I think something might have broken in the Google Sync World. I upgraded to the lastest and greatest build and now when I run Ermining it just stops at "My Calendar: Processing New events" never sending new events to GCal.

One time it gave me an error dialog about not being able to Google Import the following: and a blank box with a close button that didn't close.

Might have to backup and wait...

You will find this crash is caused by multi-day events... if you run erminig from the command-line it will show you on the screen what event it's pointing to.

The thing is that event doesn't exist. Its a ghost in the database. One time I get a blank box the next it points to a event that I deleted and was at the beginning of the month (non-multi-day). It was deleted a while ago, also appts I add from Google come into GPE fine, but GPE -> Google just sits.

Was there a change in the database when the fixes, etc went into 20080616?
I am gonna try backing up to the last version tonight and see if it still happens.

To reproduce this bug, is it sufficient to create a multi-days full-day event in GPE and then perform a sync with Erminig? (I'm trying to collect as much informations as possible in order to debug it).

I take this opportunity to announce that by the end of this week I will release a new version of Erminig, which will bring a bug fix for #2592, and probably a new feature (command-line mode for Erminig (#2610)).

After that I will tackle the more problematic bugs, related to synchronization. (sorry to delay that, I need a few days to familiarize myself with the code!)

I have patched GPE Calendar to allow the user to select whether he/she wants the week to start on Sunday. This is selected through the "View" menu with the check item "Week starts on Sunday."

I have also fixed the week view so it displays correctly when using Sunday as the week start. And in really minor news, I fixed up the month selector box so it doesn't cut off the text any more.

I have submitted these patches to the developers, so hopefully this makes it upstream somewhere. For now, if you have Graham's daily repository, update your GPE packages, then install this attachment.

Let me know if you experience any problems.

Any fix for the event "details" pane? I can't enter any details in my events.
