It might be, depending on what applications you have installed.

Yes, I believe the only app in Groupware that has any rewrite rules is  
Kronolith at the moment.

This has nothing to do with the pretty urls setting.

Probably because you are viewing the horde frameset...you won't see  
any url changes in the location bar when viewing a frameset.

It is to enable the rewrite rules that are defined for the  
application.  For example, in our photo gallery application, Ansel,  
you could use a url like:

http://example.com/horde/ansel/user/bob

instead of

http://example.com/horde/ansel/view.php?groupby=owner&owner=bob&view=List
