Thanks. I found that option in the horde setup, and now new preferences
work ok. And now I get the point of the 'legends' too - they show only
the categories you've used on the currently displayed view, right? 

But I'm still stuck on the bigger problem of this calendar which
displays no events and shows first every time I hit a button anywhere. I
know I'm not the only one with the problem of the initially blank
calendar - eg

But in my case setting the new calendar as the default doesn't help
