Hi,

Very nice.  Is this indended to be a text/calendar MIME type handler too?

It seems to require http URIs.  Could this be generalized to handle any 
gnome-vfs URI type that has a text/calendar MIME type ?

Two use cases:

 - clicking on a file in nautilus
 -

This will allow us to get our bugzilla TODO lists automatically updated 
in our gnome-panel calendar :)


Thanks,
