    global-mode-string can become quite long if there are several modes
    running, and this makes the nice and very useful mode-line-position
    scroll of to the far right (where it becomes invisible, and useless).

This might be a good idea.  I think it would call for some other small
redesign so as to make it look good.  Does anyone want to give it a
try?
