There are a couple of things going on in this ticket.

The original suggestion -- that the indicator show all the events
happening that day -- is at odds with the indicator's design of showing
"the next five calendar events, if any"
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#Coming_events>. The calendar app,
is the proper place for the all-encompassing view this ticket describes.

However I like Bruno's suggestion on how to choose those "next five
calendar events" by ending time rather than starting time. That way, in-
progress meetings wouldn't disappear off the indicator as soon as they
start, so people running late could use the indicator for a quick heads-
up.

The design spec doesn't say how the five should be selected (probably
because it seemed obvious at the time :), so forwarding to mpt for
consideration.

Title:
  Indicator-datetime still doesn't list all events for today's date
  (Trusty/Utopic/Vivid)

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug is related to this bug: Bug #1293646 (Which is marked as fix
  released)

  With latest update of indicator (13.10.0+14.04.20140328-0ubuntu1) it
  lists all events for all past selected dates properly (which was fixed
  in bug Bug #1293646) except today's date. When I click on any past
  date in calendar it shows:

  1. all all-day events for the day.
  2. all events with time for the day
  3. upcoming (future) all-day events
  4. upcoming (future) events with time

  But when I click on today's date it only shows:

  1. future all day events
  2. future events with time

  I still have to click on previous day's date to find out all all-day
  events for today.

  The behavior (showing all events for a day) should be same for any
  date, including today's date.
