Ah, thanks, Nick.

However, from the documentation, it doesn't look like it is possible to
have the categories starting in the same column if some have a category
icon and some don't, i.e. there is no way of inserting spaces to
compensate when the category has no icon.  So with

  %i %-12:c%?-12t% s

I get

   calendar:   11:00-12:30 Meeting
  X task:       14:00 Fix agenda

where X is my icon.   

Is my interpretation correct?

Loris
