I have one suggestion for the patch - the gconf key value should be a
boolean, not an int. It should also have a 'schema' entry.
Other than that, I would probably do the notification listening slightly
differently, but that's just me - I'm also not a calender maintainer so
have little weight in the matter.
Cheers,
Michael
