Orage might be suitable... It's an Xfce app. I like it because the
files are plain text so I can easily edit them to suit myself. 

It imports / exports iCal files so I imagine that it should talk to
CalDAV (iirc iCal & CalDAV are the same format?). 

It runs from the notification area, lists daily events, tasks,
appointments etc ... 

It also works well in Unity & Gnome2 when I've switched out of Xfce.
