OT: Calendar Overlays for Wallpapers

[Thomas Paine]

I've spent all morning looking for something that I can overlay a
calendar on a wallpaper and I can't seem to find anything at all what
I want.

Basically I would like to overlay a calendar to a wallpaper and then
flatten them together and save it so it's just a jpeg. I would think
this is possible with the gimp, but I can't seem to find anything and
I tried several search string in google but nothing brings back what I
want. Everything is giving me a desktop program to run, and nothing ot
overlay a background.

Anyone else have something like this working?

Thanks.

You can generate calendars by using the cal command at CLI prompt.  man
cal will show you the options.

Should be able to paste the output of cal into a text object in gimp
then apply that to the background you want.

Why not use superkaramba?  That is if you are using KDE, I don't know if 
it works with GNOME.  There are themes that do that and it works really 
well.
