The hijri calender, if memory serves, is 11 days shorter than the
gregorian-based (ie. western or "meladi" as its called in Arabic);
so your assertion and calculation above is correct.  I'm not sure
how/if Kcalendar treats work-weeks (ie. ww) if at all, but they
usually spill from year-to-year -- something similar, if appropriate
could be used.

Have you guys included the "holiday" section related to the calendar ?

Once all is done, it might be helpful for others if you, Mr. Moro,
could put together a brief 1-2 paragraph document on all your findings
in case others come asking (month names, days, conversion equations,
holiday days, start of week, etc :-)

Again, many MANY thanks for your continued interest and help.
