I'm pretty sure it was a gnome-pim-conduits problem (is there another 
email list for that?), and that it persisted through at least this April 
(just after Debian woody froze, so I haven't checked updates since). 
This was covered in a discussion last November 22, when Eskil mentioned 
the patch and "imminent" new release including it, and I asked about it 
again February 8 (with no reply).

Really?  This didn't work with Evolution 1.0.5, it imported ical but not 
vcal (Ximian bug #8001).  They say it's implemented in HEAD as of 
2002/7/15, but does that mean it's in 1.0.x or do I need to try a 1.1 
beta?  Well, I'll try again.
