Well, I'm absolutly sure that the problem I'm having does not have to do
with dependancies. I'm able to access the calendaring feature when
running evolution as a different user.
I fixed this problem by removing my ~/.gconf/apps/evolution folder and
rerunning the evolution config druid. So, my problem had something to do
with the evolution config, but as for what it was exactly, I have no
idea.
