Bogus insensitive events after clicking on different date

[Tom Jaeger]

Impact:
Some events are incorrectly displayed in the indicator

Test Case:

The events indicator-datetime shows below the calendar depends on the selected date. When a new date is selected that has fewer associated events than the current date, some of the old events remain in the list, but are shown as insensitive rather than deleted. If for example the current date has events 'A B C D E', and the user clicks on a date with associated events 'X Y Z', then indicator-datetime will show the events 'X Y Z D E' with the last two events grayed out. Tested on quantal.

With the update the events should be correctly displayed

Regression potential:
Check that the correct events are listed and that they are not grayet out when they shouldn't

The call to hide_all_appointments in day_selected_cb should probably be removed as well to prevent ugly flickering, but I don't know if that has any unintended side effects.

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

Good catch, thanks!

I think this should probably go in hide_all_appointments() rather than update_appointment_menu_items().

You're completely right about removing hide_all_appointments() from day_selected_cb() though -- the flickering is coming from the idle interval between day_selected_cb() and update_appointment_menu_items_idle().
