Description Matthew Barnes 2010-06-24 17:11:37 UTC 
Forwarding from a Fedora bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603562


Description of problem:clicking on a date in the calendar applet, or typing the
command "evolution calendar" (the latter with or without a specific date) fails
to launch evolution.  Using the command "evolution" alone usually results in a
usable calendar window.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.30.1-8.fc13.x86_64

Actual results:(from command-line: "evolution calendar":)  No window appears,
but the following output on the terminal:

(evolution:29492): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loading categories from
"/home/.../.evolution/categories.xml"
(evolution:29492): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loaded 30 categories
Tracker-Message: Registering D-Bus service...
  Name:'org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Emails'
Tracker-Message: Registering D-Bus object...
Tracker-Message:   Path:'/org/freedesktop/Tracker1/Miner/Emails'
Tracker-Message:   Object Type:'TrackerEvolutionPlugin'

(evolution:29492): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(evolution:29492): evolution-shell-WARNING **: e_shell_utils_import_uris:
Cannot preview any of the given URIs


Expected results:  a usable calendar window


My response:

You want "evolution --component calendar", otherwise "calendar" is interpreted
as an invalid URI.

Confirming that launching from the clock applet isn't working.  An example
invocation is:

    evolution calendar:///?startdate=20100630T040000Z
