Jo,

Thanks for the feedback. I've never been good at "making things  
pretty" -- that exposes my CSS weakness, but I messed around and  
added a <div></div> around the event listing so folks can control  
spacing issues.

ec3.css:

#events ul.event_list {
   padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Grab revision 163 and give it a whirl. You can undo that modification  
to the widget.

I'll defer to Alex on this one. Have an example?
