** the navigation buttons (Grid, List, Search) do not work. **
The Search link works for me from Event View.
The Grid and List view links are only designed to switch *the current page's view*. Since both List and Grid views of an Event are the same as is the Search view, no apparent change takes place when on those pages.
It you want the Grid and List view links to act differently, you'll have to modify the link URLs by adding a "&view=..." (without the quotes) attribute to tell the script what calendar view you want displayed. Look at the other links from the template which were removed to see most of the possibilities.
