Yep. An alarm can only have exactly one type.

You mean like in the infamous filter dialog? SCNR ;-) Actually, I wasn't aware 
that the filter dialog even has a copy button. I always just entered the 
filters new...

Anyway, it struck me that the "edit" button isn't needed anyway, so I just 
renamed that to "duplicate".

Right. Saves one widget and makes the dialog easier to understand...

Okay. Actually I was afraid that the dialog would become too high, but 
apparently it still fits fine (see 
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/EventEditor.png ). Attached is a new 
designer file for the dialog... Any more comments on it?

Cheers,
Reinhold
