Khurshid, thanks for the tips.  I added my Google account in UOA, then 
started Evolution and added it there as well, and now it shows up in 
gnome-calendar.  Still, this is a bug because gnome-calendar should be 
able to see this account even if Evolution isn't installed.  I'll file 
a Launchpad bug as Sebastien suggested.
