well, I assumed this old Ubuntu release wasn't supported and did not  
bother to try the packages. Me bad, I will know for the next time :-)

yes, I got the stuff in "delegations". What I didn't know is how do I  
create the shared calendar. I have now used a second OS X account to  
start a separate iCal instance and play with it.

all this "granting" stuff.

Thanks for your help,
