Evolution can't create meeting, reports no backend for VEVENT

[Andrew Cowie]

I can no longer create meetings or appointments from Evolution! This was happening in Oneiric, and now that I've upgraded to Precise it's still broken. An error is reported in the GtkInfoBar it pops up saying

      No backend factory for 'file' of 'VEVENT'

This is moderately horrid. My clients keep asking us to send the meeting invites, and we can't do it!
