After that, everything works as expected. I’m using Ubuntu 9.04 – Jaunty and these are the things I had to do to make this work.

They have a new international clock in the Gnome Panel... I tried following Britt's advice here http://lukewarmtapioca.com/2006/12/8/google-calendar-meet-ubuntu and the webcal library accepted it, but I did not get any dates to show in the calendar under the clock.

Unless you configure Evolution, the calendar popup will use GMT times instead of your local time. Also, stress more that this is not a two-way solution because Evolution can't send events to Google Calendar yet (not without installing a daemon which has to be configured for online or offline access).

I want to import from a local file, using the file:// schema, but nope, didnt work. I'll have to test a bit more :) But thanks for the tip anyhow. hmm, I was hoping that the URL would support several schemas, not only http… I want to import from a local file, using the file:// schema, but nope, didnt work.

Also very easy with iCal. But: How about subsricing to an ical (placed at icalx.com or other domains) using GoogleCalendar? This would be the easiest way to have both, your ical or whatsoever calendar and the online google one on a dynamic updated state. Sounds nice that (one-)way. Also very easy with iCal.

The description of evoltuion-webcal says "It allows you to subscribe to a published calendar simply by clicking on a webcal: URL." debian.org So with evolution-webcal installed I copy pasted the link into my address bar and change the 'http:' to 'webcal:' and that worked.
