This was part of the reason I consider week and month views "experimental" - 
the lack of better integration.  Another part of this is that if you add
an entry from the week view, you end up back in day view. Also the GOTO
button at the top only goes to the day view. All in all, I was not happy
with only the footer leading into the week and month view, but there was
enough interest in getting these views in there that I figured we could
come up with something better later.

One approach I tried was to make a more general view script which would
redirect to day, month, or week view depending on a parameter which would
be somewhat persistent. I lost interest in this when I realized that
Apache+PHP would not handle redirects internally, like Apache+CGI does,
and this would result in 2 HTTP requests from the client for each view.

While we could just fix the minicals to go to the same view, I would rather
hear some more general suggestings about integrating the week and month view.
Best would be ideas that don't require major changes to the interface or
implementation (like cookies).
