When I add the calendar gadget to my desktop, it is blank — nothing in it. A couple other gadgets I use, such as the clock, work fine. I realize there are other ways to see the date but this is kind of nice, at a glance, info.
Thanks

Playing around I found that by by unclicking the “show desktop gadgets” in view options and reclicking it fixes things. Will wonders never cease.
