Oh, that program is called xcalendar (there is also an xcal, which
gives you a strip calendar).  Try making sure that xcal isn't an alias
or a shell script that runs xcalendar with other args.  When running
xcalender, which is the program on my system that gives me the little
window that you drew, and running xprop against it.  

DINO(p1): xprop
WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
                window state: Normal
                icon window: 0x0
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xcalendar", "XCalendar"
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
                Client accepts input or input focus: True
                Initial state is Normal State.
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                user specified location: 600, 89
                user specified size: 130 by 100
                window gravity: NorthWest
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "dino"
WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "xcalendar", "-geom", "130x100+600+89" }
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "xcalendar: February 1991"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "xcalendar"

If you run xprop against the window you have that isn't working
properly, what do you get?
