The calendar should only pop up if there is calendar data.  The option is
Preferences -> QSO -> Show Calendar at Startup.  Paul may have forgotten to
delete the GOLIST data from the program before he released it :-)

This is mentioned on my web page:

I agree that it should be mentioned in the on-line help.

Search in the index for "Master" in the on-line help.  If the Master Calls
window is closed, you won't get this error.

The window positions are retained, but not their "open-ness". This has always
been the case.  This is also mentioned on my web page cited above.
