No, that's not it. IIRC a good bit of the UI layer was changed a while back. I think earlier iterations were a little more purely derived from the Qt widgets, so using the mouse just inherently worked for a lot of them (even though you couldn't see the pointer). That was changed a while back, I think (though I can't remember how long ago). There are probably a few places where clicking with the mouse may still work (apparently some of the settings pages), but it's the exception rather than the rule. There's a major UI layer overhaul in progress. The new UI layer relies more on OpenGL (if you have it) for lots of eye candy, though there's a Qt fallback mode, I think. The mouse-enabling patch that was recently posted is meant to work with this new UI code; I don't konw whether it'll be included in the 0.20 release or not. -JAC
