Calendar doesn't show Google dates

[Matthias Rosenkranz]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

I have a Google Calendar configured and activated in Evolution. When I click on the GNOME clock applet in Hardy, the panel first freezes for about two seconds, then the calendar and location window opens and shows the days with appointments in my Google calendar (or any other activated calendar) in bold. However, when I click on one of the bold days, the applet doesn't show a summary of the corresponding Google appointments under the "Appointments" tab. Only appointments saved in a local calendar are displayed in this tab. I would expect that a summary from every activated calendar is displayed under Appointments for the selected day and that the applet opens immediately without a two-second delay. Selecting "Make calendar available for offline use" for the Google calendar doesn't seem to affect the behaviour.

This is on Hardy amd64. I have the most recent versions of evolution (2.22.1-0ubuntu3.1), evolution-data-server (2.22.1-0ubuntu2.1) and gnome-applets (2.22.1-0ubuntu2) installed from hardy-proposed. Maybe this problem is connected to LP:#204775, where a freeze of the whole gnome-panel was reported.

The delay mentioned is possibly also related to bugs on Launchpad (<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191497">#191497</a>, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194505">#194505</a>) and upstream (<a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515948">GNOME Bugzilla 515948</>).

Strangely, starting from today the panel completely freezes, when I click on the calendar applet. Looks very similar to bug #204775. Judging from the comments there, other people also seem to have this problem even after applying the fix from hardy-proposed.
