           Summary: Wishlist: Visibility and control of suspended
                    reminders

  Target Milestone: ---

I have some periodic things I do during the day, and have found the "suspend"
feature for reminders useful for the purpose.  If I need to do something every
3 hours, I create an event 3 hours into the future and then suspend it
repeatedly for 180 minutes.  When such a suspended reminder is pending, I don't
believe there is any way to see at what time it will trigger, and I sometimes
would like that information.  Also, I sometimes want to change the timing after
the fact – e.g. if I got distracted and suspended the reminder without actually
doing the thing associated with it, I might want to adjust it to trigger 3
hours from the time I actually did the thing.

Some UI ideas:

1. You can already set and manipulate multiple reminders in the event dialog,
each reminder having a separate line.  This could be extended so that a
suspended reminder is indicated there, on its own line with an appropriately
descriptive text.  The "remove" and "modify" actions would be naturally
applicable, and would cancel a suspended reminder or modify the time of it. 
For the latter, the "before/after the event starts/end" drop-down control could
be replaced with a static text saying "from now", otherwise reusing the
existing relative time input UI.

2. The tooltip for events currently shows the reminders set for it.  A line
could be added showing when a currently suspended reminder will be triggered. 
Alternatively, the line for the reminder that has been suspended could be
augmented by a text saying something like "(suspended until DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM)".
