Comment 8 for bug 649882

I think we could relate this to bug #709434; that the calendar widget is too complicated for its task as well. That bug is currently filed as a theme issue, but maybe a good solution is to have a custom informational calendar widget. The current calendar widget was designed for selecting a date; something we don't actually _use_ in the datetime indicator. It would make sense for that custom widget to display the current date as a label, since how that is presented is dependent on the calendar itself.
