        Hi,
it seems to me like it wasn't always build against the right eds, or 
your runtime doesn't have the right eds? Unlike, right? Anyway, let 
him know to check 
applets/clock/calendar-sources.c:calendar_sources_init(), whether the 
call of e_source_registry_new_sync() succeeded or not. Then he can 
check what the calendar_sources_get_appointment_clients() returns - it 
should return nonempty list of ESource-s corresponding to the type 
(Events or Todos).

The other interesting part is at applets/clock/calendar-client.c, 
namely the cal_opened_cb(), where is decided whether the calendar was 
properly opened or not. When it succeeds, then either 
calendar_client_update_appointments() or 
calendar_client_update_tasks() is called at the end of that function.
I'd debug in these functions, to see whether it does what it should 
do. I see in the code (I only briefly looked into it), that it is 
almost up to date, it only uses deprecated ECal structures, while 
current supported API is ECalClient. It's possible that the deprecated 
structures misbehave in some way. The code might be rewritten to use 
ECalClient ideally, because the deprecated structures are deprecated 
for years, thus they will be gone sooner or later.
        Hope it helps,
        Milan
