Definitely! I compiled and tested it on redhat 6.2 (x86 with X).

Thanks Eli.

Personally, I like to know that the minibuffer window is active.
But I can see that it might be useful to know ... however, it is not
different from how Emacs behaves today (where all windows use the same
face for the mode line).

I think there should be some visible difference - but I don't know
exactly what it should be... the current default isn't optimal.
