Description of problem: personal calendar in Evolution defaults to being unchecked. This is non-intuitive because someone like me can attempt to create an appointment but it won't work until you click the personal check box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.1-2 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. start evolution from a virgin account 2. click on calendar 3. personal will be unchecked 4. Trying to create an appointment will result in no entries Actual results: no entry made Expected results: either a warning that no calendar is selected when trying to create an appointment (or maybe ghost entries out), or/and? have the personal calendar default to being checked on fresh install. Additional info:
Calendars are stored in gconf in: /apps/evolution/calendar/sources (which stores a list of strings containing XML-ified data about each calendar). The state of those checkboxes appears to be determined by the UIDs that appear in a list of strings in /apps/evolution/calendar/display/selected_calendars So I'm guessing that on a fresh install, upon going through the startup wizard it generates the necessary stuff into GConf, and should be adding it to that list, and isn't - will investigate further.
There's a patch upstream, will be fixed in 2.0.2

2.0.2 seems to be in now, is this fixed?
Yes: I just tried a fresh install of rawhide 20041014 with evo 2.0.2 and it's fixed.
confirmed as well. yum update of evo 2.0.2 with a new user. You just beat me to this Dave. :-)
