Well, you asked for a theory -- and got even more. The explanation. :)

Those checkboxes really mean, what a checkbox is supposed to be --
enable the entry next to it. Enabling "Personal" did display your
Calendar.

The Todo's already where showing, since you added another item to the
list. That's default behavior, IIRC. Adding a new item to a disabled
list will enable it -- to show the just added item. Otherwise the user
really could be missing his new items...


It seems, you did not lose anything apart from the "checked" (aka
enabled) state of those lists. And re-enabling brought back all your
items. So here we go with the solution...

Enable, what you would like to see. :-)


Hope, that cleared things up...
