Well, no. It is an intentional design decision. That's also why the hand 
cursor is no longer on the tool palette. The feeling was that users 
wanted standalones to look like other standard applications.

To accomplish the same thing, I always omit the inclusion of the hand 
cursor in standalones, which forces the engine to automatically use the 
system default arrow instead. I'm not sure why they didn't implement it 
this way.
