Comment 2 for bug 315973

First I tried using "Report a Problem" tool but it was not loading for me,
so I posted the bug directly.

Since I am not a developer I can't say which package is creating the
problem. But I believe it is date-time applet. If evolution is not
responding, gnome-panel (and date-time applet) should display my calender
details as "Not available" and come out immediately. Rather it is waiting
indefinitely for evolution to respond with calender details.

Regards,
Karthi
