I just upgraded org-mode for the first time in a while and found these
new default settings for deadline and scheduled leaders somewhat
disorienting.
A 12-char width causes misalignment with a sample file and emacs -Q.
(See output below).
Here is an example of the new default behavior with emacs -Q
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Day-agenda (W12):
Sunday 24 March 2013
8:00...... ----------------
test: 10:00...... Scheduled: TODO Scheduled at a time
test: 10:00...... An appointment
10:00...... ----------------
12:00...... ----------------
14:00...... ----------------
16:00...... ----------------
16:59...... now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
18:00...... ----------------
20:00...... ----------------
test: Sched. 3x: TODO A scheduled item
test: Scheduled: TODO Another scheduled item
test: 3 d. ago: TODO An overdue item
test: In 2 d.: Deadline

Note the extra space here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And here is an example of the old default behavior (11 char. spacing):

FWIW, I find the old default much cleaner and easier to scan visually. I
know this can be customized, but might I suggest that we revert the
default to 11-characters and left aligned text?
Best,
