+
+ * "aboutToShow"
+ Description: notifies the indicator that its menu is about to be shown.
+ Workitems that are expensive on startup (such as loading EDS to query
+ it for appointments, or loading GeoClue to guess our current location)
+ may be deferred until this is called.
+ So, calendarDay's state may not be fully populated until this is called.
+ FIXME: aboutToShow should be spec'ed once for all indicators, not ad-hoc
+
+ * "activateSettings"
+ Description: opens a page for changing indicator-datetime's settings
+ State: NULL
+ Parameter: NULL
+
+ * "activatePlanner"
+ Description: opens up the appointment editor.
+ State: NULL
+ Parameter: uint64 (a time_t hinting which day/time to show in the planner,
+ or 0 for the current day)
+
+ * "calendarDay"
+ Description: set which month/day should be given focus in the indicator's
+ calendar and to use as a starting point when listing upcoming
+ appointments in the indicator.
+ Client code implementing the calendar widget should call this
+ when the user clicks to a different day, month, or year.
+ State: a dictionary containing these key value pairs:
+ "calendarDay": string ("YYYY-MM-DD"). Used by the calendar menuitem
+ to know which year/month should be visible and which
+ day should have the cursor.
+ "daysWithAppointments": an array of day-of-month ints. Used by the
+ calendar menuitem to mark appointment days.
+ Parameter: uint64 (a time_t specifying which day to give focus to)
+
+ * "location"
+ Description: Sets the user's current location. Called by location menuitems.
+ State: string containing a location and a timezone
+ Parameter: string containing a location and a timezone
