MPT says: "Each event should be presented as an ordinary menu item. The
icon for the item should represent what kind of event it is
(appointment, meeting, etc), and for calendar events the icon should be
tinted depending on which calendar it comes from (Personal, Work, etc)."

So I'm not going to make a judgement here. I'm happy (if we have the
right icons) to just mask fill a cairo surface in the right colour and
push it off as a pixbuf.
