to deny this patch by saying that this is merely a hack and that a overhaul to the talk pages is needed, well....then i *demand* that you deny it with code for your suggestion in hand.
Attached is my proposed patch which tries to go for the root problem by making a more prominent link to edit the user talk page from a user page.
This gives the same number of clicks to get into editing (one click to the user page, a second to edit the talk page), and works on all existing and future user page links.
It's running on test.wikipedia.org right now. The exact look and feel could use some improvements, of course.
I've not yet put it in CVS.
