In my opinion a horizontal scrollbar doesn't make sense in the agenda 
view. A scroll bar is about scrolling a part of a bigger view which 
doesn't fit in the visible region, but which has a fixed range. What 
would be the range for the agenda view? A week, a month, a year, a 
century?

If you don't like the back/forward buttons it might be a good idea to 
add an alternative navigation widget. Code-wise that's easy, the 
KOrganizer design takes provisions for that. A possible widget would be 
a horizontal wheel like on a radio for selecting the frequency. The qwt 
library (which is based on qt) has a cool implementation of that which 
even features gravity. The faster you move the wheel, the longer it 
keeps moving when you release the mouse button. 

Would somebody be interested in trying if this actually works and makes 
sense? Might be a very cool feature. Maybe a janitor job?
