Can't suggest a different piece, but I can suggest a hack that I have
used to remove the annoyance of having the calendar permanently open. If
you install the minimisetotray extension from
http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/ you can minimise the calendar window
to the system tray (right click on the minimise button). If you copy the
file
C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR WINDOWS PROFILE NAME>\Application
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<YOUR THUNDERBIRD PROFILE
NAME>\extensions\{8e117890-a33f-424b-a2ea-deb272731365}\other_stuff\icons\default\calendar-window.ico
to
c:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\chrome\icons\default\
then when you start thunderbird, the calendar extension will have a
calendar icon, which will be what shows up in the tray.
