...that's a bug ;-). Probably it should look at the foreground role and 
use the appropriate color. (Of course if it switches to 
always-look-like-a-line-edit, this becomes a non-issue.)

Actually that should be KColorScheme(<appropriate color set>)->LinkText. 
(Sigh, I should know the correct API... seeing as, y'know, /I/ wrote it...)

But then, why doesn't it /start/ LinkText and change to ActiveText? It 
seems that would be the most appropriate behavior.

The pipe is a caret :-). (Though, IMO, the cursor should still change to 
I-beam.)

While I think I'm generally in favor of this, it makes it hard to start 
editing again in the middle of the path. (Where is the "read my mind" 
setting, anyway?)
