The method to call is CalendarSupport::KCalPrefs::instance()-
>defaultCalendarId(), unfortunately this is not in kdepimlibs, so you can't 
call it ( it's in kdepim/calendarsupport/kcalprefs.h ). We could move it to 
kdepimlibs though.

as a workaround ou could just open the config file directly and read the 
setting.

Akonadi::IncidenceChanger is easier to use and provides more calendaring 
features, like sending invitations when creating events or recurrence stuff. 
You'll have to use 4.11 though.
