In Gnome, when you clicked on the clock it shows you your calendar and if Evolution is installed it shows your calendar appointments as well.

Now Ubuntu has moved from Evolution to Thunderbird. Is there a way to get my Google calendar to show its appointments here (120.04) without installing full-blown Evolution?

Specifically I want this in Unity, but Gnome-shell would be better than nothing I guess.

It would be really awesome if it was integrated with the Online Accounts recently added!

But does anybody know how to include a calendar, Google specifically, to the Calendar when clicked, in Ubuntu 12.04 running Unity?

(does what I am asking make sense to anybody?)

IMHO, thunderbird shouldn't have been made default until calendar integration was complete. I removed thunderbird and installed evolution because of this.

This looks promising:
