I have attached a preliminary patch for this. The patch changes the text 
to something reminding of the text above. It also changes the links from 
a button-like style to underline. Please test the patch.

There is one thing that I have not found out how to change it: the 
"mouse over" face. It is gray whatever I do. If someone knows how to 
make a widget really display the highlight face then please tell me!

**** I am resending this. It did not reach the list directly because 
there were too many recipients before. Moderator, can you please just 
drop the message I sent before that is hold and is a duplication of this 
message.
