The bug is still there, but the patch is unfortunately wrong. The crash
seems to only be triggered on OpenSolaris so far and they added the
patch to their package, which is good for OpenSolaris users, though :-)
I'll work on a good fix in 2.23 (can't be done in 2.22 since the change
is too intrusive)

There are two things here:

 + the clock applet opens the calendar in a synchronous way. I'm afraid
   the change is quite intrusive, which makes me think it won't go in
   2.22.
 + authentication: I thought the clock applet handled calendar
   authentication, but maybe I'm misremembering. Or maybe the google
   backend needs something different? Does anybody know?

Thanks,
