hey folks: there's a blueprint you can subscribe to in order to keep up to date with progress on calendar integration with the default install. see: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-calendar- integration.
fwiw, i agree that this is a major pain point for most users, even though it's minor relative to show-stoppers like application crashing. however, this is the wrong forum for those concerns. this bug is about a defect in gnome-control-center causing it to show something unreasonable when there isn't a reasonable option available. anything not directly related is a distraction that makes the bug harder to understand, and therefore fix. for now, the bug has been reported upstream. once fixed there, it benefits everyone, not just Ubuntu. hugs all around. ;) cheers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to desktop-file-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841409 Title: GEdit is the only choice as Calendar application in Default Applications dialog Status in GNOME Control Center: New Status in “desktop-file-utils” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “desktop-file-utils” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Oneiric: Won't Fix Status in “desktop-file-utils” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gtk+3.0” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: In Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) beta1, opening the Default Applications dialog (System Settings -> System Information), GEdit is selected (and only possible choice) for Calendar items. I think this is not expected, since it is not so useful to open calendar data as standard text). In Oneiric Thunderbird is default email client. Currently Thunderbird7 beta is installed, and I noticed the Lightning extension for Calendar is not compatible with it yet. Will Thunderbird/Lightining be possible values for Calendar applications?
