I've never seen any other app that uses this method - click and
hold to do something. I don't know how it's implemented (a
deskbar replicant?), but I think the volume control in the
deskbar is a good example - it appears as soon as you click on
it, and disappears as soon as you release the mouse button. It's
not at all intrusive IMHO - I can't see any reason you would
click on it unless you wanted to change the volume.

If the main reason for this addition is to see for example, what
date it is next friday, I dont see why any more is needed -
click and hold, look at the date, let go.

Yes, or a light box around the current day or something. One of
the most annoying things on R5 for me is the fact that fonts <
11 pts don't render bold any differently to roman.
