More or less all of them.

The events window is the worst offender, since I have so much screen real-estate
on my 1024x768 monitor that I can't use.   I'd like to see more of my events at
once, like in Outlook or Word or even Notepad.  The item window probably doesn't
need to be resizable.  It would be nice to be able to have multiple event windows
open to cut&paste between, but I know that's asking a LOT.

Take a look at Hal2000's upcoming Outlook-like interface at from their newsletter
