Sorry, I think I *now* finally realised that the two menus where just
swapped. And there *is* the option to view a date's diary entries I
missed earlier today ...

There must be more changed. In GNU Emacs 22.2 I can 'C-h k mouse-2>' and a *Help* buffer opens telling me (excerpt,
left out):

at that spot runs the command calendar-mouse-2-date-menu
which is an interactive Lisp function in `cal-menu.el'.
It is bound to .
(calendar-mouse-2-date-menu EVENT)

'C-h k ' in GNU Emacs 23.0.60 does not produce the same
(telling cal-menu-context-mouse-menu's name). This is consistent with
in GNU Emacs 22.2, although another menu (or just a
key mapping, calendar-mouse-3-map?). GNU Emacs 22.2 at least tells me
what one menu is ...

And the swap introduced a bug: in a floating tip window I get told
that mouse-2 will open a menu of operations for this date, which is
wrong.
