Well, one problem is that all the windows become inactive when you are
in the minibuffer. That is, as soon as you type "M-x" or "C-x C-f",
all the mode lines become displayed in the inactive face. This might
be regarded as a feature, but perhaps users would like to know what
window is active even when they are typing at the minibuffer prompt.
I think that when the minibuffer is selected,
the window in minibuffer-scroll-window should count
as the "selected" window as regards the mode line.
(That is the window that was selected "outside" the minibuffer.)
Also, I wonder whether the default for this face should really be
different from the mode-line face. Perhaps we want that by default
this feature is invisible;
This feature should be good for beginners if we get the colors right.
So the default should be that it does something you can see.
