Well, Sebastien, as a mere user of Ubuntu, who also gets the word out quiet a bit about trying and adopting Ubuntu, I have to say that responses like "fix it yourself" don't really help because I am not a programmer. My wife isn't a programmer either, but she recently (finally!) adopted Ubuntu at her office and one of the first things she mentioned was "Why doesn't the Calendar called Gedit not work? It's just an empty file when I open it...".
So, from a end-user standpoint, this is not cosmetic and not minor, considering that, in my wife's case, she has to have a calendar option. Needless to say, the Workaround is Thunderbird with Lightning and Google Calendar provider, however, it would be far nicer to have Google Calendar integrated into the Ubuntu's notification area and from the dropdown beneath the clock. For a new Ubuntu user it's very confusing to see that -- yeah, there's a calendar available, but non of my appointments show up there, because Gedit is the default calendar app...

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?
