A fix for Google calDAV calendars nor showing up in iCal

I synchronize my iCal and Google calendars using calDAV (based on these instructions). After getting everything running, I had a calDAV calendar in my iCal which was not showing up in the sidebar. The "account" was showing up (the stuff written in grey, capital letters, with a triangle next to it) but no calendar in the account. No error message, either.

The problem was that I was using non-ASCII characters in the name of the calendar (what a surprise). I changed it on the Google website, deleted the account in iCal, added it again, and voilĂ , now it shows as expected.

Not sure if this is linked to 10.5.5 or not; I just know it was at some point working, and that I had this problem for about a week or so. Hope this helps.
