The addition of the new 'mini' calendar is a great idea, but unless it can
display a different month from the main window (or multiple months) it's use is
very limited. After all the dates it is showing can already be seen in the main
window.

If this is not thought to be a good idea then the best use for it would be to
bold the days that have events in on any calendar. 

Otherwise I am not sure what the point is (even though I like it immensely :) )

It could be a preference or something to keep the two of them in sync, or be
able to change one without changing the other.

A preference to allow the user to choose what it does would be a great idea.
Maybe three options? 
1. Leave as is
2. Display different months
3. Bold events

Just an idea :)

This is now done in cvs and in the builds available now.
I put it in 2 days ago.

The "bold days with appointments" feature has disappeared from the mini-cal in
the new build. Apologies if this is already fixed in CVS.

Also, can I bring your attention to my other comments in bug 189173. I really
feel that it should work in the way described there and that it would be far
more useful that way.

Maybe I should file a separate RFE so that this bug can be closed?

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
