I didn't even see the pointy finger on the ceiling!
We followed the advise of our tour host and sat on the chairs on the back right side. The vast majority of tourists are lead out the doors on the back left. The doors on the back right are for special tour groups and get you directly into St. Peter's - if you can manage to sneak in with a group you can miss standing for hours with the riffraff waiting to get in from St. Peter's Square.
Remember to take extra batteries for your camera flash. I wouldn't let my wife spend 5 Euro for two AA batteries as we were going into the Vatican Museum and our batteries died half way thru the Basilica. Now we have to go back with fresh batteries.
