The idea here is to put the most important information in the #1 reading 
position. The time and description are now in the top left corner. The 
biggest blankest area is where the description and text is entered. It should 
be hard to miss now. Most of the other stuff has been moved to the edges.

Notes:

* I've got some big date and time widgets in there right now, mainly because I 
want the date to be shown as text since mixed numbers and text has been shown 
to be the most readable. The date picker pop probably still needs to be 
worked in there some how. Also it would be better if the day-of-week was also 
shown in front of the dates too.

* The turn-the-checkbox-on to turn-the-times-off checkbox has been fixed. 
("Use hours and minutes")

* The "Play Sound" and "Run Program" stuff should be a bit clearer. Although 
we're a bit cramped for space in that area.

* The Categories input is now labeled properly.

* Some others labels have been rewritten.

* Does one 'Apply' a Template? Load a Template? or what?

* Reinserting the Reminder bell icon probably isn't a bad idea.

cheers,
