Thank you so much Allan! I've done a quick review of your suggestions and will respond with more detailed thoughts as soon as possible :-)
I'm a bit unsure about using a popup menu as the list of alarms though. Traditionally a menu item can only be clicked to activate one action, not multiple as your mockup suggests (snooze, dismiss and delete). I'm not sure this is even technically possible in GTK+... They could appear in submenus, but that's not as elegant. It might be possible to display some sort of popup-window with a custom list though... Another reason I'm reluctant is that I've kinda already implemented a version of the alarm list window[1] mentioned in the BetterUI wiki page[2] :-P What do you think of using a window instead of a popup menu?
