PS: After adding Evolution and configuring a "fake" email account, I was able to set up Google Calendar in Evolution, which becomes the default calendar. Again, this is old news, and should not be required considering that Evolution was ditched as the default email/calendaring app in support of Thunderbird. Why Thunderbird + Lightning is not supported towards the default calendar app -- just like Evolution used to -- is beyond me... :)

I think this is not expected, since it is not so useful to open calendar data as standard text). In Oneiric Thunderbird is default email client. Currently Thunderbird7 beta is installed, and I noticed the Lightning extension for Calendar is not compatible with it yet. Will Thunderbird/Lightining be possible values for Calendar applications?
