The graph/chart and blank/non-blank controls work well as links.
A disadvantage of the new design is that it makes completely unobvious how to navigate to a different account. Going to the front page doesn't come to mind. You could add “select a different another account” on a link. You could even keep a recent list in a cookie (trimming style changes by keeping five distinct recent accounts and the last style).
Without blanks should be the default choice, it gives more information at a glance than the alternative. I wouldn't mind graphs being the default choice either, if only for discovery purposes. I'd never seen them before (possibly there used to be a display bug). Chart with blanks can be used to give a time scale, but the graph does it better, so maybe you don't need blanks at all.
Choosing an account could be quicker and in one step: a box and five links with the favicon next to the site name.
