what's wrong with keeping the current single combo that pops up a calendar, 
but altering how it displays the date in the lineedit?

i actually find this more confusing =/ i didn't know what "Use hours and 
minutes" meant at first, whereas "No associated time" is immediately 
apparent?

how about a new tab for reminders and give ourselves lots of space? "Give 
reminder" is nice and short, but probably difficult to understand. if there 
was more space, a longer and more descriptive label could be used?

well, yes and no... the "Select..." is not very well associated visually with 
the Categories area... to be honest, i prefer the current button placement.

good question... "Use Template..."?

also, what happens when you select "Recurring event"? i see that tab is 
completely missing in your screenshot?
