date tool on login screen has "add event" which envokes evolution as the lightdm user

[Andy Whitcroft]

From the lightdm login screen the datetime indicator has the "add event" entry which envokes evolution as the lightdm user. Bad!

It should also be noted that by attempting to add the event, the Evolution setup wizard runs. By using the "Restore from backup" mechanism of the wizard, any user can browse the filesystem as the lightdm user!
