Honoring Chuck's viewpoint that my request is a duplicate of this one, I'm
transferring the final detail of my ticket to this ticket as feedback. I
think the general idea of 2127 is a great idea, but I think it
could/should be expanded to include the functionality I'm requesting.

OK, I've checked with some of my users to get some more feedback on
things. In most cases, they say they are accustomed to checking freebusy
or looking at the calendar directly. The situation they experience happens
something like this:

The owner of the calendar is adding an event to his calendar, and
meanwhile his secretary is on the phone with someone else asking to
schedule the same time. On of them beats the other to the punch, and one
of them submits a short time later... now there's a conflict.

In the process, they both checked their availability (calendars are
side-by-side in Horde), saw nothing was scheduled, and proceeded believing
all was fine.

For that reason, primarily, they really prefer it if saving the event
resulted in a quick check and a prompt if it conflicted with another
appointment. From the prompt they could choose accept or decline...
accepting would create as it does now, decline would take them back to the
edit event page and allow them to pick a new time.

Any thoughts? I'm very willing to consider alternative ideas if you have
any.
