thanks for pointing that out. In fact I did look into rpm and saw 
Google* stuff, but did not see any interface to link to calendars, and 
my old calendars (I'm  using my old home directory) was disabled. This 
is what confused me.

indirectly it did. Turns out, I had my old "provider for google" 
extension installed and the new installation from repository did not 
update it (which is obvious, since the old one was installed in user 
space ~/.mozilla). Thus I had the provider installed, but it was not 
functional. Uninstalling the user's  extension did the trick and 
lightning has asked for password for google account after thunderbirds 
restart.

thanks to everybody helping

I'm running F12 x86_64 and F10 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.
