Clicking on the clock in the panel will pop-up a window showing the calendar to the left and holiday events to the right. In the "Digital Clock Settings", there doesn't seem to be any way to disable the display of holidays at all. Disabling "Display Kontact events" has no effect. Even though I do not want to see the holidays panel at all, the problem is a bit worse that just that: I'm now stuck with seeing USA holidays while I'm neither an american nor live in the US. Reproducible: Always
Forgot to mention that the problem only seems to exist in KDE 4.11 beta1. In 4.10.4, it was possible to disable the holidays display in the clock widget.
I think (not know, because I don't have 4.11 running) you can simply go to your clock settings and open "Calendar". The problem: the dialog is way too small to show the whole table. Either scroll it to the right or simply resize the settings dialog, then you can reach the comboboxes to control which holidays to display.

No, there's no other settings there (I'm attaching a screenshot.) This looks like a regression.

Ah - I should have had a look at your Distro, first ;) Gentoo controlled display of holiday events through the "rss" USE-Flag, as rss and holidays both needed kdepimlibs. I did report this unintuitive feature-handling ;) Now as semantic-desktop is not anymore optional in gentoo, the rss-USE-Flag got dropped entirely: commit b0772937b260533455d20b0ead3139c591a791bc Author: Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> Date: Thu May 30 04:29:59 2013 +1000 [kde-base/plasma-workspace] Drop USE="rss". So holidays should be there by default. I would suggest to emerge --sync, rebuild at least kdepimlibs + plasma-workspace. If it still does not show holidays you should contact the Gentoo kde herd (best through Gentoo bugzilla ;))
(In reply to comment #5) > I would suggest to emerge --sync, rebuild at least kdepimlibs + > plasma-workspace. Er, I should rebuild without changing any USE flags? What would that accomplish? I'd just get the same thing I now have :-|
(In reply to comment #6) > Er, I should rebuild without changing any USE flags? What would that > accomplish? I'd just get the same thing I now have :-| I don't think there should be any USE-Flags to consider - everything should work out of the box. I also remembered "kde-base/libplasmaclock" - it had USE="holidays" to enable those holidays. But that got dropped, too. But since the bump to 4.11 beta1 there were no changes to the relevant ebuilds, also the eclasses did not get changes. So rebuilding might not be the solution though it could still fix your issues magically ;)). Probably there is a build option that needs to get turned on?
I've updated to 4.10.90, which of course means a full rebuild of everything in KDE. Problem is still there. Doesn't look like a Gentoo bug. Can *anyone* who is running 4.10.90 please confirm whether he/she is able to disable the display of holidays?

Confirming the issue (and using master w/ openSUSE). I *suspect* it's due to this commit https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/22bc09c62bc3f305907d7270c650db9d291e5e6a
