The changes are now in git master. It would be nice if somebody would try it 
out and proofread the WhatsThis/check if it's comprehensible...

Text of the WhatsThis:
"<title>The date bar</title>"
"<para>The date bar gives you an overview of the approximate number of images 
taken in a given time frame.</para>"
"<para>Time units are shown on the <emphasis>time line</emphasis>. Above it, a 
histogram indicates the number of images for that time range."
You can scroll the time line either by using the arrow keys or the scroll 
wheel, or by dragging it using the middle mouse button.</para>"
"<para>You can <emphasis>restrict</emphasis> the current view to a given time 
frame by clicking below the time line and marking the time frame.</para>"
"<para>Clicking above the time line sets the <emphasis>focus</emphasis> for 
the thumbnail view, i.e. jumps to the first thumbnail of the time unit in 
focus.</para>"

@miika and jesper: I've taken the freedom to add the middle mouse button as an 
additional drag-and-scroll-button for the datebar. For me it feels more 
"natural" than the current Ctrl-LMB.
