I think it is always good to at least have the option of not showing data from 
a certain source, e.g. switching off personal contacts or calendars when you 
are at work or vice versa.

Ah, that makes it clear, butI don't know either why addressbooks or calendars 
are not activated by default in their primary applications.
I agree they should, especially when being added through the respective 
application.

Maybe it is just a matter of changing some default. i.e. default for boolean 
usually being false and nobody has fixed that yet.

Cheers,
Kevin
