It might be a better idea to use gpesyncd and the OpenSync plugin which should
work much better.
This reminds me that i have a GUI to configure this plugin somewhere... who
would be so kind to remind me that i need to submit this? :)

No, that would be a bug too... GPE-Calendar knows about different durations
pretty well.

exchange/update files. :-)
