Potential UI change- comments requested

[rms39 columbia edu (Russell Steinthal)]

All:

I've been working some major changes to the alarm framework, with the 
primary goal of allowing an unlimited number of alarms for a given 
event (the current architecture only allows one of each type).  While 
I still have a lot of code to write before I'm at that point, I've 
almost finalized the UI changes and wanted to get comments/objections 
before I proceed further.

If I press the correct buttons in my mail client, attached should be 
a screenshot showing the modified event editor and four "Alarm 
Details" dialogs, showing the four different states of that box 
(controlled by the radio button at the left).  For the curious, I had 
to use four concurrent gnomecals to generate the screen shot, since a 
given process will only allow one alarm details box at a time.

The code for updating the alarm list in the event editor is not yet 
written, but you can imagine the GtkCList at the bottom filled in 
appropriately.:)

Comments are appreciated, especially if there's some fundamental 
objection to this change I should know about before I get further 
into this.

PS: As you'll also notice, the audio alarm dialog allows the user to 
specify a sound file, as provided by the vCal spec; I figured I'd 
implement that while I was poking around the alarm code in any case 
(although a code contribution would be quite welcome).
