(require 'cal-x)
(setq calendar-setup 'calendar-only)

I think it's a bug that you have to require cal-x (same in Emacs-21.x, by
the way). There are some other options for calendar-setup you might like to
investigate.

(when (display-graphic-p)
  (calendar)
  (speedbar))

would be the recommended test in Emacs-21.x, but for 20.7 I'm not sure if
there is anything better than window-system.
