GNOME does allow defining a default calendar (System Settings -> Details -> Default Applications), so that could be used by indicator-datetime as well. But as Charles pointed out, since indicator-datetime is displaying calendar events, it should probably be keyed to a calendar application that can display those same events as well. If indicator- datetime is opened up to "any" calendar app, like Lightning, then I would think the user experience demands that indicator-datetime have an internal interface into the application's known events, i.e. liblightning, if such a thing existed. I suppose a D-Bus interface could be spec'd out, sort of like Messaging Menu, but I'd be happy with just using the .desktop file as a first step. (To be clear, I'm not wedded to my proposed key names, I was just being verbose for clarity's sake.)

In System Settings, the only checkbox relevant to this is to show "Coming events from Evolution Calendar". It'd be nice if instead the Unity calendar indicator would launch the user's chosen default calendar application. I'm not suggesting that the calendar indicator quit using Evolution Data Server for calendar information, just which application is launched in response to a user event.
