The Calendar window has a fixed height of 7 lines, and when
`split-width-threshold' is nil or the current frame is not wide,
it creates a nice small window with the height exactly fit
into these 7 lines.

But Calendar in a horizontally split window is currently very ugly:
there is small text part at the beginning of the window with almost
70 empty lines below.
