2001-10-30  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@ximian.com>

	* gui/dialogs/delete-comp.c (delete_component_dialog): Use an
	EMessageBox instead of a gnome_dialog_question so that the label

	(calendar_config_set_use_default_reminder): New function.
	(calendar_config_get_default_reminder_interval): New function.
	(calendar_config_set_default_reminder_interval): New function.
	(calendar_config_get_default_reminder_units): New function.
	(calendar_config_set_default_reminder_units): New function.
	(config_read): Get the options for default reminders.
	(calendar_config_write): Set the options for default reminders.

	* gui/dialogs/cal-prefs-dialog.c (cal_prefs_dialog_show_config):
	Set the default reminder widgets from the config values.
	(cal_prefs_dialog_update_config): Set the config values from the
	widgets.

	* gui/comp-util.c (cal_comp_event_new_with_defaults): New
	function; creates a VEVENT component with the default alarm.

	* gui/e-day-view.c (e_day_view_key_press): Use
	cal_comp_event_new_with_defaults ();

	* gui/calendar-model.c (calendar_model_append_row): Likewise.
	* gui/comp-editor-factory.c (get_default_component): Likewise.
	* gui/gnome-cal.c (gnome_calendar_new_appointment_for): Likewise.
