Just curious, but what kind of problems connecting to the Google calendar?
And what other problems? I use Evolution myself but I never tried to connect
it to my Google calendar, maybe that would be a good idea if it worked
flawlessly?

For Mozilla Thunderbird there is an add-on program (open source 
download) called "Lightning" which adds a calendar and a task manager to 
the email client.
I have used it successfully with Thunderbird with both Linux and Windows 
operating systems.   This may meet the need indicated above - worth a 
try anyway.
