Comment 5 for bug 345827

I guess this can also be put in relation with this request:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/340022

As said in many bug report, the actual view is a first draft. We need
to try different sorting views to enable a better perception of tasks
structure (project, contexts, etc.) and timing. I guess we'll
experirment some view as the one suggested in bug #340022. In that
case, having an option allowing to specify how many days in advance
you want to see future tasks in the view would be quite
understandable.

Regarding the workview, I must say I am not a big user of it (Lionel
is), so I cannot clearly decide if it is OK to tune this aspect. But,
IMHO, putting a preference in the future preference editor for this is
no big deal.
