Summary: change cursor in edit mode 

Initial Comment:
this is a small but annoying little bug. when you switch to edit mode (selecting from the menu or by ctrl+e) the mouse cursor does not change immediately from arrow to hand, but only after you move the mouse. I think this should instantly change to give better visual feedback to the user.
this happens at least on 0.40-3 and 0.41-4 (I only had a look at mac os 10.5).

This is a bug in Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X, I've tried everything that I could
find to fix it, but no luck.

Message:
using [console show(---[sys_gui] I tried typing in the command directly to
Tcl/Tk and there was the same effect.  It seems that Tcl/Tk doesn't update
the Mac OS X mouse pointer until the mouse moves.

Message:
I think this is only a problem on Mac OS X.  There is a hack in place that
tries to update the cursor, but IIRC, it doesn't seem to work on Mac OS X.
