True. There are a few settings you can change (like enabling the 
pointer) that improve the situation, but most of the UI just isn't 
designed for mouse interaction, which somewhat diminishes the 
front-end's usefulness as a media applet on a desktop. (You can make the 
front-end run in a window and scale it down so it doesn't dominate the 
desktop.)

A year ago or so someone put some effort into boosting the mouse 
compatibility of the UI and some of the plugins, with the goal of being 
able to use it fro a touch screen. I don't know if those patches made it 
into the trunk. (They probably post-date the 0.21-fixes branch that most 
distributions are using.)
