Isn't the Calendar icon is Leopard suppose to show the correct date now? Cause mine is usually a day or so behind. It says the 17th, but it's the 18th here now.
Several threads on this already, but yea - it's flakey.
It works most of the time. When it fails (gets stuck on previous day), it can be fixed by removing it from the Dock, then adding iCal back onto the Dock.
