Changing calendar default from Evolution to Thunderbird

[Lawrence E Graves]

Does anyone out there know how to change the default evolution calendar
to the lightning calendar in Thunderbird. I have pulled my hair out and
I am bald headed.:-)  I am running Fedora 17x64. Everything pertaining
to email works fine except for the calendar. Thank you in advance.

I would file it with thunderbird-lightning and it can be reassigned if
necessary

That is exactly what I mean. I believe the change has to be made within 
the lightning program in order for it to work. The command 'evolution -c 
calendar is important in the change but I haven't a clue as to how to 
change that command to say Thunderbird or Lightning (whichever works)  
Thanks for responding.

I am assuming
you meant F17. I was searching for this myself a while 
back and found:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/69349/how-to-change-gnome-shell-calendar-d...

Basically, doing this:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.office.calendar 
exec thunderbird

will let you use thunderbird when you click on 'Open Calendar' from the 
panel clock.

Interestingly, I assumed that I'd be able to change this from:

gnome-control-center -> Details (under 'Sysytem' section) -> Default 
Applications

...but it doesn't seem to offer that option, although I've installed 
thunderbird-lightning from the fedora repos (as opposed to installing it 
as an add-on in my thunderbird instance).

Not sure if this is a bug with thunderbird-lightning or with 
gnome-control-center.

cheers,

You mean have Evolution use the Lightening calendar application instead
of its built-in equivalent? I wouldn't have thought that was even
possible. Or do you mean something else?
