Is this feature request now dead? I only just raw into it now, and I was hoping this would last me the 10 years my old Palm Clie did, which, of course, did repeating events very well.

I'd say it makes the most sense to combine these cases in the UI. In the following mockup, "text" represents a label, {text} represents a control, and other text represents a description.

First line: "Every" {1,2,3,...} {weeks,months},
Second line for weeks: "on" {M T W Th F S Su} (allowing multiple selections, highlighting selected days)
Second line for months: "day of" {month,week} {1,2,3,4,...,31} or {Nth} {M T W Th F S Su}
[add]

For months, each line would only take one day of the month or one day of week, and the add button would make another line.
