[Evolution] Calendar items do not display

[Vijay Ramachandran <vijay_us yahoo com>]

Hello. I'm running the stock version of evolution and e-d-s that comes 
with ubuntu breezy:
evolution      2.4.1-0ubuntu7 The groupware suite
evolution-data 1.4.1-0ubuntu3 evolution database backend server

I recently installed beagle, and running beagled seemed to have somehow 
destabilized evolution calendar. I can no longer see any calendar 
entries in the calendar view. When I start evolution, I see the 
following error messages:
(evolution:27121): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: assertion 
`GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed
(evolution:27121): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: assertion 
`GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed
Adding a new event by hand doesn't show any error message, but that too 
doesn't show up. Is this a known issue? What is happening? How can I fix 
this?
I tried to reset evolution data by removing the ~/.evolution directory, 
but the data is rebuilt - possibly e-d-s keeps a cache somewhere else? 
If so, how can I wipe out all data and start from scratch? If I log in 
as another user on the system, there are no such issues, i.e., the 
calendar shows up fine, so I'd really like to wipe out the data and 
retry, rather than install upgrades.
thanks,
Vijay
