[maemo-developers] HildonCalendar

I am currently trying to tidy up some things reported by the hildon-audit 
tool.  One thing it has reported is:

gtk_calendar_new: GtkCalendar is deprecated, use HildonCalendar from hildon-1: 
see http://live.gnome.org/Maemo/Gtk210Migration#M14

I have looked at that URL but it doesn't help much!

My first problem is in deciding exactly what has been deprecated.  The 
reference to the GtkCalendar widget is in code which is not currently 
conditional for Hildon: it is the same on all platforms.  Is the message 
telling me:

1) That GtkCalendar is being removed from Gtk.  On Hildon it is replaced with 
HildonCalendar.  On other platforms it is replaced with other things, not 
specified.

Or...

2) Today code can use GtkCalendar on Hildon and get a calendar widget that is 
customised for the Hildon environment.  That behaviour is changing and, in 
future, GtkCalendar widgets will be the same on all platforms and not 
optimised for Hildon.  To get a calendar widget for use on Hildon you should 
use HildonCalendar, not GtkCalendar.  But GtkCalendar is still the correct 
widget to use on other Gtk platforms.

Or... something else?

And, lastly, where can I find some documentation on HildonCalendar?

P.S.  I am really not a GUI guy -- give me a kernel interface any day...
