Well, Sebastien,

as a mere user of Ubuntu, who also gets the word out quiet a bit about
trying and adopting Ubuntu, I have to say that responses like "fix it
yourself" don't really help because I am not a programmer. My wife isn't
a programmer either, but she recently (finally!) adopted Ubuntu at her
office and one of the first things she mentioned was "Why doesn't the
Calendar called Gedit not work? It's just an empty file when I open
it...".

So, from a end-user standpoint, this is not cosmetic and not minor,
considering that, in my wife's case, she has to have a calendar option.
Needless to say, the Workaround is Thunderbird with Lightning and Google
Calendar provider, however, it would be far nicer to have Google
Calendar integrated into the Ubuntu's notification area and from the
dropdown beneath the clock.

For a new Ubuntu user it's very confusing to see that -- yeah, there's a
calendar available, but non of my appointments show up there, because
Gedit is the default calendar app...

Thanks.
