Hi,

Firstly, thank you very much for a great plugin!

Upgrading to 3.1 made me think I found a bug, but it turned out it was  
a new feature (or bug fix?): toggling the 'keep events separate' now  
makes event posts totally go away from the frontpage.

 From browsing the mail archives I see it's argued that controlling  
whether posts show on the front page or not is better controlled  
globally, from Wordpress. If so, why not remove this functionality  
entirely from Event Calendar?

I find 'the old way' for controlling the behaviour of the calendar  
user friendly, intuitive, logical and so would like this function to,  
uhm, downgrade.

Then I 'keep events separate' and make EC 'show events only':

   * I want a post only in the calendar? Make it an event.
   * I want a post only on the front page? Don't make it an event.
   * I want both? Have event category AND front page category.
   * I need more specialization? Go find another plugin!

Just my opinion.

Now for a practical question: The way EC is working now, what is the  
easy way to do what I want? That is, keep the events category alone  
off the front page while having posts with multiple categories show up?

  keep events off the front page, but have them appear there if they

Then I don't need to go looking for other plugins to manage my  
frontpage and can keep things simple.
