HEAD

In the Link widget, the swapping between hand and arrow cursor is not reliable.

I can move a few pixels into a link and still have the arrow cursor. Once I have the hand cursor, it stays until the mouse leaves the whole widget (easy to see in ControlExample with size 100 x 100).

Very weird, I do not think SWT is doing anything to the OS to deserve this (syslink controls in the windows control panel do not show the same problem).
