Thanks! This was the first I saw of the project, and the AppDir format
is certainly a nice way to install it!

As long as you're going to make it AppDir compatible... it might also be
nice if you were to use ROX-Lib2, and, in particular, its Choices
system. The reason I say this is because gDeskCal didn't work for me out
of the box... because instead of having my CHOICESPATH point to
~/Choices, I have it point to ~/.Choices (thus hiding my
configurations). I had to edit 'Values.py' to change this; had gDeskCal
used ROX-Lib2, this would have been unnecessary.

The other thing ROX-Lib2 would have been nice for is to throw up an
alert if any dependencies are missing...

I'd like this! I'd also like Memo to allow me to specify an alternate command to
run for an alert (so I can have music or an alarm sound play)...
