What does everyone think of this? I did some usability work recently on a
Horde app I'd written and the biggest thing that came of it was that users
like to click everything - if possible, entire cells should be clickable,
not just the link.

People especially liked being able to click anywhere in a row to view that
item, especially if the row had a rollover - some commented that rollovers
are often used to indicate clickability, so were confused that only the
links were clickable.

Users also liked it when I expanded the clickable area on the toolbar so
they could click anywhere in the cell, not just on the icon/text (similar to
this Tabs change).

Thoughts on implementing these changes in Horde and its apps?
