Re: some comments on the gutter

Yes. Put the usually invisible major and minor modes as buttons in
the gutter. That idea I like. I *really* want to see the Major and
Minor modes in effect and it is irritating not to be able to scroll
the mode-line to make them visible there.
I like the idea, but what about leaving the mode information
(everything between the parentheses) in the mode line, but move, into
the gutter, all of the cruft that pushes the mode information off the
screen? It is called the "mode line", and moving the mode info out of
the mode line is a bit confusing. Possible candidates for gutter info
include:
* Function names, etc. displayed by the func-menu.el.
* Line/column numbers.
* VC info (RCS version, symbolic name, etc.).
* Time/date/load average.
