    Anyway, I don't like the crosshairs used by default for sensitive text,
    e.g., customise buttons or dired filenames.  (Naturally, a long time ago
    I set x-sensitive-text-pointer-shape in my ~/.emacs.)  All other GUIs I
    use use a pointer or a hand (web browsers).  It looks like tool-bar-mode
    uses a pointer for buttons.

We may as well make Emacs compatible with what users expect.  Can you
send a patch?  If you want to install it yourself, that is ok too.
