I'd like to have more visual clue too.

What about additionally having:
* Telephone call customer
      <2011-06-15 Wed 12:00>--<2011-06-15 Wed 13:30>

How to visualize overlapping things? Not that easy without those
boxes the usual calendar app has. What are you thinking here?

My first quick idea (hack) for this problem:

  8:00...... --------------------
  9:00-13:00 # Boring Meeting
 10:00...... #
 11:00...... #
 12:00-13:30 ## Telephone call customer
 13:00-14:00 ## Lunch with mistress

Those «#» characters visualize the number of parallel items.

Besides implementation difficulties: how would you like to see this
situation in your agenda view? Do you have a better idea?

Or is there a chance of having some ASCII-art boxes for
time-spanning entries?
