Don't see schedule in new meeting request dialog

Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Due to bug 270535, I recreated my exchange account from scratch. Now everything seems to be working again as before, except that when I type Ctrl-Shift-E to create a new meeting, and click on "Scheduling", my entire calendar is greyed out (not as "busy" but with the diagonal slashes which I think indicate that connector couldn't find my calendar info). This is true for other attendee's calendar also. This is true even if I quit evolution, do evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown, restart, and click on "Calendars" first. I do see my calendar correctly from the "Calendars" component. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Ctrl-Shift-E 2. Click on "Scheduling" tab. Actual Results: My schedule, and that of any attendees, is greyed out. Expected Results: Should see my schedule, and that of attendees. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information: Oddly, my calendar shows up just fine in the Calendar component. I can do GAL queries just fine in "Contacts", and even in the meeting request dialog I can correctly enter other attendees, even though their calendar is greyed out. I don't recall if this worked in 2.0.3 before I recreated my account and ran into bug 270535; it definitely used to work in evolution/connector 2.0.[012].
Ok, I figured out what's going on. Whenever I create a new meeting/appointment, it defaults to my Personal calendar, not the Connector/Exchange calendar. This is a bug. My default account in Evolution is my Exchange account, and that calendar should be the default. This used to be the case in prior versions of Evolution, which is why it hadn't occurred to me to look for this.
This is a usability issue, it is not a major bug, hence changing priority of the bug to 'Minor'
That's cool. The initial issue --- or what I thought it was --- was Major.
Fix is committed to gnome-2-8 branch as well as head. Now when an exchange account is created, calendar and tasks folders get selected automatically.
