Public bug reported:
This application contains an applet that displays the date according to
Hijri (arabic) calendar. When the applet icon is clicked, it brings a
window that displays the Hijri calendar along with the corresponding
Gregorian dates (screenshot of that window is attached). The package is
actually split into a python library (python-hijra) and the applet.
The notification area will be deprecated in Natty's default desktop.
So it is needed to make use of the indicator framework:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators
Rather than just doing a straight switch from GtkStatusIcon to
Application Indicator, advice is sought about whether the functionality
could be integrated into the calendar grouping menu. It is not necessary
to modify the applet package, I was thinking that maybe there can be an
option in the calendar menu to either use the Gregorian or the Hijri (or
maybe any other) calendar system for displaying dates. In that case
there are several libraries that can be used for the case of Hijri
calendar system:
python-hijra, libitl, or libkal (the latter doesn't seem to be actively
maintained upstream)
