I have (setq planner-use-other-window t) and I find it annoying that
(for example) invoking `planner-goto-today' twice gives me two windows
both looking at today.  I think modifying `planner-goto' to invoke
something like this would do what I expect:
  (if planner-use-other-window
      (pop-to-buffer buf)
    (switch-to-buffer buf))

If that were the behaviour, I'm not sure why anyone would *not* want
to use `planner-use-other-window' ;)

On XEmacs at least, I think `pop-to-buffer' would also help Jody's
problems since if the buffer is already displayed in another frame,
then that frame is simply raised.  (I'm not sure how GNU Emacs behaves
in this regard)
