I personally think the default arrow (not the hand) feels right, but I 
see what
you mean by not wanting to hide the functionallity.

I propose we make this a preference.  Default to no clickability (just use the
+/- icons), but add a "power-user" option to make it clickable (maybe even an
option as to what type of cursor, but that might be too much).  That way it is
less confusing to the average person out of the box, but the functionallity is
still available.
