I propose another view (i.e., Day, Month, Year) that displays the next upcoming
30 days. I find the existing month view inadequate when I am nearing the last
4-5 days of the current month. The existing month view doesn't show the upcoming
events of next month.
The view I am looking for shifts the current week to the top and the rest of the
23 days are filled accordingly; even filling them with days of the next month.

e.g.,
-----------------------------
| S | M | T | W | R | F | S |
-----------------------------
| 18| 19|#20| 21| 22| 23| 24|
| 25| 26| 27| 28| 29| 30|  1| <==(note next month)
|  2|  3|  4|  5|  6|  7|  8|
|  9| 10| 11| 12| 13| 14| 15|
| 16| 17| 18| 19| 20| 21| 22|

Attachment: patch for existing files to implement the new view in calendar

This patch in from the diff from todays CVS.
It includes the modification of the current files to allow the 
implementation of the new view. I think that this is the minimum.
-- 
The new files are included in the next attachment

Attachment: ZIP archive with the new files.

This ZIP archive include gif images which can be used as toolbar button 
only something better is designed.

I can't read the code, so I'll risk suggesting something already done:

How about a pref, instead of "Show [x] weeks", make it:

"Show [x] before and [y] weeks after the current week".

I suggest the default be x=1 and y=2 (= 4 weeks total). That way people can
decide how much into the future and into the past they want to see by default.
