Makes sense,  I think it is when I check the size of the drawing area.
I'll have to poke at that some more.  In the meantime I've managed to
break it. :(  Now the drawing area doesn't clear.

As the area is expanded or contracted I scale the calendar, but only
down to a certain height and width and then the scroll bars kick in.

Funny, I've been researching for months, reading blogs, articles, and
tutorials;  and not one ever mentioned Gtk.Style.  Do you know of any
tutorials or documentation relating to Gtk.Style beyond what is
presented in Monodoc?

My target is more *like* -

than a month view.  I don't know if that makes any difference in your
recommendation.
