 I see, just a bit of miscomunication, that's all. I kept on talking
about what was there right now in gnomecard idl. And, yes as I said in
other mail GnomeCal like interface is definately a way to go, or
perhaps even having the same one period. That's another reason why it
is not even worth trying to use the _current_ gnomecard idl interface.
