Hehe, and you are very welcome for the fix. :-)

OK.  Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with that.

Yes, understand.  It's pretty hard to calculate a percentage when you
have no way of determining what 100% is. :-)

Sounds like a pretty good solution to my situation, thanks!

Not good for shift workers (people who start work at night and finish
work in the morning).  Maybe day-end shouldn't be a time (ie hour of
day), but an amount of elapsed time since day-start.  For example...

  day-start == 9 (9am)
  day-end   == 32400 (seconds since day-start == 18:00 or 6pm)

I think having the user work out how many seconds their work day is
would be a bit much.  So have the user give the number of hours their
work day is instead of the hour it finishes.

So if your work day started at 09:00 and finished at 18:00 you
would... 

  (setq xwem-worklog-day-start 9
        xwem-worklog-day-length 9)

`xwem-worklog-day-length' would replace `xwem-worklog-day-ends'.

Someone who works night shift (23:00 to 07:00)...

  (setq xwem-worklog-day-start 23
        xwem-worklog-day-length 8)

`set-itimer-value' and `set-itimer-restart' are you friends. :-)

You are very welcome!

Great!  I can't wait.
