It does work much better recently than it did previously.  The only
crasher I have now is if I try to view contacts from the corporate
server, that kills the evolution-data-server after about 150 contacts.
Against my person server (much less data) it seems to work fine.  But
I'm skeptical about using GroupDAV with a server containing >10,000
contacts anyway - that is allot of GETs. :)

I did the same to make it show OGo's overview calendar view.
