What Lightning version and Provider for Google Calendar version do you use? 

Current Lightning 0.8pre nightly test builds have experimental support for offline caching. According to Bug 416851 recent gdata provider nightly builds should support it too.

Johannes,

You can get a nightly from 

http://gdataprovider.mozdev.org/ 

and will need a calendar nightly from 

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8

Please test and report errors if they show up :)
