llDetectedTouchPos and the hand cursor

I'd like to use llDetectedTouchPos in order to simplify my scripts in a hud object. I can remove several prims and just put some rectangle checking into the root prim, which would be great.

The problem is that any time a script has a touch_start() event handler, the mouse cursor changes to a hand anytime it is over the associated prim. This means there's a hand cursor over the entire root prim, when I only want a hand cursor over clickable rectangles. Is there any way to control the appearance of the cursor? Or am I stuck using separate prims to get that result?

Well I just realized these new functions will be unusable in any but the latest viewer, so this is not so important anymore.
