I don't believe so.  As I said, I don't have it here, and use yasp-
scripted for my at-a-glance date display.

FWIW, however, fiddling with the clock for this thread, I did discover 
something new.  I'm not sure if this is available with 4.5 and earlier, 
but at least with 4.6, if you click the clock and get the calender, and 
you have widgets unlocked, you can then fiddle with (I don't know exactly 
what triggers it, a click on the calender icon, a drag... something) the 
calender and get it to appear as a new calender widget, independent of the 
clock!  I think it might be available in the add-widgets dialog as well, 
but wasn't aware it could be added from the clock's calendar popup.

Whether the calendar widget does what you want or not I don't know, but 
it's another option, at least, and I did find it interesting that I could 
convert the popup into a calendar widget, even if here, with the yasp-
scripted display already, I decided the extra desktop clutter wasn't worth 
the additional data available on the calendar widget, so deleted it after 
playing with it a bit.
