remove button should be in the notifier main window #78

This is a usability debate. It has been suggested to me that while the
"add" button is in the main window, the "remove" button is not and can only
be accessed through the watch editing window.

My initial design considerations were:
1- avoid cluttering the user interface
2- removing a watch would not happen very often?
3- putting a "remove" button directly in the main interface is dangerous?

Regarding number 2, I would agree that it may be only me and for others,
"their mileage may vary".
Regarding number 3, it has been suggested to just show a confirmation
dialog for deleting watches.

Another advantage of having the Remove button in the main window, argues
Thibault, is that it would help clear confusion created by the "Clear"
button (issue #76).

Thoughts?

i'm the one who made that recommandation
Transmission, for instance, shows both "add" and "remove" buttons on the same 
window,
and it doens't seem unsafe to me

This is actually fixed in two of our dev branches. Not yet into SVN however.
When clicking the remove button, there is no confirmation dialog. I am 
hesitating
whether or not we need one really.

Should be a stock button, not a button+label.
