I've added a Gmail address to my Google account and now it is stuck and displayed as primary address:
david.black.co.at@gmail.com (Primary email)
david@dasz.at Remove
Is there a way to force my real address as primary?
Alternatively: I don't actually need the stupid Gmail address. Can I just delete it without having problems with other applications (e.g. Google Code) connected to this account?

There isn't a way currently, and its infuriating. I had to create a completely seperate account to use the Android Marketplace, since Checkout will only accept a @gmail.com address and its painful to see that address on every Google service I use. Not to mention that it breaks some services (eg Wave) that have their own accounts data and only use the Google account name to link them up.
I know that there are big changes on the way for the whole way that Google does account management (the "more services in Apps" thing is part of it), but I'm not privy to all the details. I'll raise a ruckus about anything thats not fixed once they roll all that stuff out :)
