If there was a white line with ALL CAPS TEXT it you'd see it out of
the corner of your eye ... oh wait, it does have that.  My point is
just that no matter what you will do, _some_ user will find a way to
be confused.  My desktop has enough color on it already to obscure
such a bar.  (xpenguin is cool too)

If you forget where you're at, just hit ESC repeatedly and when the
computer beeps (or the screen flashes, or you've hit it a few times)
you're guaranteed to be in command mode :-).
