Ubuntu – How to disable the calendar events section in GNOME Shell’s clock applet

calendarclockgnome

I'm running gnome-shell 3.2.0 and when I click the clock applet in the middle of the top panel, the following shows up:

I have no need for the entire right part, right of the dotted line, which is dedicated to the "Online Accounts" integration with evolution's calendar. Is there a way to remove/disable it, so I can just have the date part of the calendar applet (left of the dotted vertical line)?

I just like to browse the dates to see how many days are left in the month and stuff like that. I use Google's web interface for my "Calendaring".

Edit: This is now obsolete, an extension has been written for this: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/153/nothingtodo/

There's no configuration value for this, it's hard-coded in at the moment, but it's easy enough to change:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js

Find the line that reads:

this._dateMenu = new DateMenu.DateMenuButton({ showEvents: true });

And simply change true to false

Then restart GNOME Shell by pressing Alt-F2 and entering r
