After Sergio note I understand logic - but don't like it.

In KOrganizer I use week view, when switching to Journal view it stays - whole
week is selected. And at the moment 9 Feb is first day of current week. So it
is put in date selector as first day of selection.

Why I don't like it? Journal entry is (IMO) what I am doing here and now. By
default it should be current day and date as specified by system clock. Journal
for me isn't some support of scheduler when you can do notes for future dates
but recording of current activity. It is especially in contrast with time: date
is properly inserted. If 9 Feb is inserted as date why not eg. 0:00 as time?
Equally fictional.

Also there is problem with default title. It is inserted as "Journal for
09-02-09". But when I switch date for today it stays in such form which is bad.
BTW with current displaying of journal entry you have much redundancy:
-------------------------
Journal for 09-02-09
2009-02-09 17:13

[entry]
-------------------------
or in case described above:
-------------------------
Journal for 09-02-09
2009-02-14 17:13

[entry]
-------------------------
With possible multiple entries per day it looks even more crowded. My
wishes/suggestions for handling of date/layout:

- put current date/time as default - most people[*] use journal for recording
of here and now, not as support for scheduler
- don't use default title, leave this space blank

[*] I admit, I don't know how people use *KDE-PIM* journal but I mean this in
general context of journal, coming from - you know - those small paper notebook
;) I suspect that because journal is technically tied with other parts of
KOrganizer that conceptually it became very integral part of it, while in fact
there are some differences.

Although I think current behavior is so counter intuitive it should qualify as
bug, change qualification to 'wish' if you consider it appropriate.
