I like the simplicity of this being a CSS rule, but it probably makes
sense to use the preference, for more consistency with the "normal" Horde
layout, and more flexibility to users' demands.

And we would have to cut it off at some point anyway, otherwise users are
going to kill their screen layout if they have very long folder names. A
tooltip would great.
