Interesting.  I've no idea what those 'special dates' are.  It's enabled on my 
Summary view, and it says I don't have any for the next 7 days, while a whole 
list of appointments are listed as uup-coming events.  I wonder if the 
'special days' are taken from the holidays list - do you have a holidays 
calendar configured?

If you'd like me to try to get more info about that plugin from the developers 
I'm happy to try.

I don't think so.  I think it is an akonadi/mysql message, related to the fact 
that the calendar resource is not really ported to akonadi.  We can register 
it as a resource, but like the std.vcf resource, it isn't the 'full monty'.  I 
filed a bug report (bugs.kde.org) on those messages a long time ago, just so 
that the developers were aware that we were seeing them.  I suspect that, 
because they are harmless, we should just ignore them untill 4.5 comes along.
