Comment 3 for bug 616471

I also a similar problem, but I do not use syncevolution. I have 3 friends with birthdays a couple of days ago, but gbirthday does not display their names. Editing the gbirthday script and uncommenting the print statement at

      ano = sDate.year - int(ano)

      temporal = [icono, bday, name, str(d), d, sDate.month, sDate.day, ano]
      # print temporal
      cumplelista.append(temporal)

I get the output

  ['birthdaylost.png', '1964-10-25', 'R####, A####', '-3', -3, 10, 25, 46]
  ['birthdaylost.png', '1965-10-26', 'B#####, D####', '-2', -2, 10, 26, 45]
  ['birthdaylost.png', '1968-10-26', 'Q#####, B######', '-2', -2, 10, 26, 42]

(slightly anonymised with hashes), so the program is definitely reading the data, but there are only the icons in the gbirthday display, as in the attached.
