'Restart Today' dialog box cancel button causes unexpected results.
I thought I would note an instance where Today's behaviour deviated from my expectations, though I don't think falls under the 'bug' category.
In the General preference pane, I changed "Show Today in:" from "The Dock" to "Menu Bar". The "Do you want to restart Today" dialog appeared, and I clicked "Cancel", expecting the action which raised the dialog to be reverted (because of the label "Cancel") — I expected the dropdown list to go back to "The Dock". Instead, it remained at "Menu Bar".
After making sure the behaviour was consistent, I recognized how it made sense, and realized that it was the "OK"/"Cancel" naming that threw me. I would suggest looking at how other popular Mac shareware (I don't recall any offhand) have dealt with this issue; though I don't consider this a bug, I would strongly suggest reexamining your chosen implementation.
Cheers!
