That name is given by the server. If Google would consider adding the 
calendar name to the realm, then we wouldn't need the multirealm hack 
for Google API clients.

Of course we could see if its possible to add a rich dialog into the 
networking layer that uses the calendar name and allows remembering 
passwords either per calendar or per domain/realm, but this needs 
someone to take care of it :)
