Well, I believe people around here don't use the mouse on a daily basis,
we pretty much have all years of practice, and learned that the mousy
thing isn't the most efficient way to use Emacs.  This is more a feature
for novice users, and they don't usually take part in devel discussions.

But we seem to agree (at least Dan, Drew and I) that this feature would
be a good thing, as it improves consistency.  A novice user can be
disappointed to see that although the cursor's shape changes when moving
to a minor mode modeline item, nothing can be triggered.

Again, my .2€.
