Eesh, sorry...I thought /usr/share/pyshared/zim/plugins was the right
place, but apparently
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/zim/plugins is--I don't know why both
exist and have .py files in them.  It works now.

Well, I have to say, this is pretty cool, especially for using with
the calendar plugin.  I can click a month and see all the entries for
the month.  :)  I'll try to give more feedback soon.

Thank you!
