Bug Description

Reported by desrt in Oakland with Valgrind.

The issue is that menu_visible_notify_cb() unconditionally attempts to update the idocalendar widget even if that widget hasn't been created yet due to its async creation.

This generates g_criticals and results in uninitialized memory being referenced.
