taken a quick look on the branch (between akademy and chronic lack of power
outlets don't have much time ;)

so, first thing you should put it in the same folder name of the old c++
applet, just deleting it.

first, some comments for the clock itself:

the 12/24 hours format shouldn't be from a local config, but take from
timeFormat of the klocale bindings.

I don't care so far about the fancy texture the clock text had, make it
work with simple text, just a Label (and optionally a second in
smallestreadablefont for the date)

the size hints are so far to be a square applet (minimumWidth: height)
should use the paintedWidth of the time text instead

it should be a popupapplet, as usual anything regarding calculation of
popuppostion should not be there

the clock should be the compactRepresentation component, while the calendar
the "full" representation

Dialog foes away


for the calendar, in the end you should probably not implement one, but
either use Mark's component or the old one that is in a kde-runtime branch
(altough that may require more work)
