the mode-line into a window-oriented mode-line and a frame-oriented

This is an interesting thought. I mean to subsume the modeline redisplay
code into the gutter redisplay code anyway because the latter is more
generic. After thisw what you suggest might be possible.
Of course mswindows has native status bars, but using them would break with X.
I still have some layout stuff to do that I've been discussing with Ben.
Basically with layout widgets we will be able to construct frames with just
gutters that look almost identical to native dialogs / guis.
