Linking a branch with this feature fully implemented. It may not merge
perfectly since I had to make some changes beyond the event handlers in
order to improve efficiency and feel (so there could be some conflict
with the latest trunk). If you want me to update it to merge nicely, let
me know :)

scrubbing with calendar / histogram widget

Bug description:
I suggest that the calendar / histogram widget be modified to support scrubbing, where the user could click and then drag with the mouse to browse through dates very quickly. Here are some reasons to justify the idea:

 * The calendar / histogram widget currently reacts when the user presses with the mouse, and most widgets like this seem to support some kind of click + drag interaction. (For example, menus).
 * The way the widget interacts with the rest of the interface is reminiscent of a scroll bar, which behaves in the way I suggest.
 * Repeatedly clicking is not ergonomic, but there is presently no other way to scan through events in detail. This would provide one way of doing so.
