It looks cleaner and things seem to work.

Well, this is really cool. I anticipated that returning to
the conflicts page (or proglist) immediately after a change
would be a problem. Chris did such a good job with the basics
and this so obviously needs a solution that it wasn't worth
mentioning at this point. I expected that the solution would
be to block filling the conflicts page until the scheduler
thread had finished running. When I first tried this last
night, I was disappointed for about two seconds... then it
updated on the fly. This is cool! The user gets the sense of
responsiveness as the page is drawn right away then the update
appears ASAP. I really like this.

One related bug that isn't really part of the viewscheduled
changes is that exiting the advanced options page triggers a
schedule change whether or not any change had occurred.

I've been running this on my machines since last night and
haven't seen any real problems.
