CalDAV seems broken on 3.5.13 (it crashes both KOrganizer and Kontact). I remember seeing this in the bug tracker, I can pull up which bug number.
I managed to get it to download my Google Calendar using "Calendar in Remote File" instead. Unfortunately, I can't upload anything, but I'm not usually near computer when I need to add something (that's what my Android's calendar app is for ;-) ).
If CalDAV doesn't work for you, here is how I did it:
To get the remote file, log in to your Google Calendar and go to your Calendar settings. Click on the "Calendars" tab, and click the calendar you want to sync. Near the bottom and to the left, you should see "Private Address". Just to the right of that, you should see buttons labeled "XML" and "ICAL". If they aren't there for your "Private Address", click the "Reset Private URLs" link, and they should appear (this will, unfortunately disable the old ones if you were using them). Right-click the ICAL button and choose "Copy Link Location" (or whatever your browser calls it).
In KOrganizer/Kontact Calendar, click the + sign as Tim indicated, but instead of "CalDAV", choose "Calendar in Remote File". Past the URL you copied into "Download From". You can also paste it in "Upload To" and do a test to see if it will let you add stuff, but I doubt this will work. Fill in the "Name" box (e.g. "Google Calendar" or something similar), and if desired, set the "Automatic Reload". Click "Ok". Within ~30 seconds (depending on your Internet connection), you should see the days you have appointments on turning bold in all the calendars at the top of Kontact/Korganizer. When you click one of these days, you should see all the appointments for that day.
