With the --backgound switch reintroduced, tapping an ics file in the file manager opens the select calendar dialogue, but this too shuts before you can do anything with it.
You may be able to get some output from Qalendar by killing the instance in the background and quickly starting a new one from the terminal, before D-Bus beats you to it (but from your other post it looks like Qalendar was crashing too much and it already gave up).
Code:
killall qalendar; qalendar --background
My guess is that it has something to do with birthday calendar. Do you have one, and if so, can you delete it?

TBH I have gotten into the habit of rebooting if I update Qalendar.
No issues to report here on non-thumb BTW
Upgrade from 0.7.1 was the last one which required manual restart. Since then automatic restart should occur immediately after upgrading or after closing Qalendar window if it is open.
