I don't understand what you are suggesting exactly.  Is it that the
CALID of the MonthCal be set to the locale CALID or to set it to the
Gregorian CALID? Either way I don't see how it helps as the problem is
with the control of functions like GetDateFormat to choose a CALID
which matches the one which the controls falls back on when the locale
has a non-Gregorian calendar (something I haven't figured out).
