I agree with you, but as Cornelius pointed out text was really not 
practical. I suppose short month names or digits would not make the 
date navigator more accessible to the users who may not understand the 
meaning/action of the buttons with only the arrow icons left… Do you 
have any icon suggestion which may indeed help them, and that we may 
suggest to our artists? (Maybe other organizers use other icons?)
