Hello Albrecht

thanks for your great patch i really like it because i applied it
but here are some improvements that would be nice if you could add

a) mouse shape should change to the 'finger/hand' shape
b) underline of the url after mouse points over it and
   un-underline after its off again. to see what i was
   talking off. paste an url into GNOME-TERMINAL with
   http:// etc...

greets..
