  Looks good. I'd still however draw attention to using "..." suffix
for widget labels which don't perform action, but open another
dialogs. It's not my/wince whim - it's convention started not even in
Mackintoshes, but in generic UI guidelines used even for Text UI
toolkits. And OPIE itself uses it - unfortunately, inconsistently.

  Thanks for following this!
