Hm, I see.  I'm not getting the thing to work properly...  If I say
(from emacs -Q)

(progn
  (require 'semantic)
  (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'semantic-mode)
  (semantic-mode 1)
  (setq semantic-default-submodes
        '(global-semantic-stickyfunc-mode))
  (load-theme 'misterioso t))

and then load, say, src/eval.c, I'm getting a new line at the top of the
buffer, and the help says that it belongs to stickyfunc... but it
doesn't display anything but what would otherwise be in the buffer at
that point.  That is, it does not display the name and parameters of the
current function.

Hm...

Oh!  Now it does?  Weird.  

The function name is quite legible to me, although the parameter list is
pretty hard to read.

And now it went away.  The stickyfunc stuff doesn't seem to be very...
stable...

OK, in a smaller C file it seems to do better.

I think the solution is to just make the header line darker, so I've
done that on the Emacs trunk now.
