(Whiteboard: midas) 

Midas documents should automatically get cursor:text.  Currently, only the parts
of the document with text in them get a text cursor.  (Contrast with textareas,
which always have a text cursor.)

Workaround:
m.contentDocument.documentElement.style.cursor = "text";

(Btw, this bug also seems to be present in the Composer window.  Contrast with
notepad, wordpad, word, etc.)

Still the case in Firefox 2.0. Are there any design objections for doing this? Close as wontfix if the workaround is sufficient.
