I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 + Evolution 2.26.1. Two days ago I wasn't getting any
recurring events synced from my Google calendar. I tried adding as a
Google calendar and as an "On The Web" calendar (is that caldav?)
Neither was giving me recurring events.

Today I was gonna add my two cents to this thread, when I looked at
Evolution again and wha?? The recurring events are there! But only on
the "On The Web" version of the google calendar. The "google" version of
the google calendar still doesn't show any recurring events.

And here's something else I realized that changed: Before, every time I
fired up Evolution, it would prompt for my google calendar password,
even though I always checked the "remember this password" box. Now it's
not doing that anymore.

I haven't run any updates in the last two days, so either Google is
changing stuff, or.. here's another totally harebrained theory: this
morning I needed to encrypt an unrelated text file, using Seahorse. To
do so I had to create a new PGP key, because this is a fresh Ubuntu
install. I don't see why this has anything to do with it, but I can't
help but notice that...

1. I did something password/key related, and then a password/key related
issue went away in Evolution.

2. The recurring events problem went away at (it seems) the same time as
the password issue.

So.. perhaps Evolution needs to log into the google account repeatedly
for recurring events; and perhaps some sort of keyring issue is
preventing that; and perhaps running seahorse (gnuPGP) for the first
time "fixes" the keyring issue?

As I said, harebrained. But it would explain a lot, like why such a
serious bug is happening to only a few users, and generally not to
programmers (who are most likely to be able to fix it AND most likely to
have already touched their keyrings)

hm.
