Comment 9 for bug 1342123

@ledoc

Hi Eric, same as you, I later realized that a certain delay was needed for it to work reliably, since there'd be times when the autostart entry would get invoked before the datetime indicator. The Exec line on my .desktop file now reads like this:

Exec=bash -c 'sleep 1m; /usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-factory'

An Upstart-based solution might be better given that timing is involved, but this simple approach works well enough for me. Perhaps you'd like to try it out?
