Re: finger-pointer curser as default for mouse-face text

[Richard Stallman]

    Well, if the "normal" click follows the link (and I claim that the
    normal click is the short click), most users will never think there is
    a problem, as they don't usually have to set the mouse in the middle
    of a link.

    They will probably set it next to the link and move the cursor into
    the link (that's how it is often done in other applications).

That seems pretty convincing, so I guess it is ok to make this change.
