Sharepoint 2010 Calendar View in Custom List Expand All by Default

Question

For some reason the scripts I have found on the web (ie: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/sharepoint2010general/thread/a24da49a-7fc8-47c6-a125-95e4a5b2d095) are not working with a calendar view in a custom list.

All I want to do is auto-expand all in my view when the page loads with some javascript in a CEWP.

Any thoughts or examples of how this has worked?

After SP1 for SharePoint 2010 some calendar scripts may stop working. We are using this script to determine when calendar loaded (it includes your expand all requirement):

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('WaitForCalendarToLoad');

function WaitForCalendarToLoad() {

    if (typeof SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a == 'undefined') {
        // post SP1
        var pwold$4b = SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b;
        SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4b = function () {
            pwold$4b();
            ColourCalendar();
        }
    }
    else {
        // pre SP1
        var pwold$4a = SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
        SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a = function () {
            pwold$4a();
            ColourCalendar();
        }
    }
} 
function ColourCalendar() {     
    SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarInstanceRepository.firstInstance().expandAll();   
}

It works for me on December 2011 CU.
