Looks like a reasonable approach. Be careful with errors from :eval
expressions, e.g.
(:eval (abbreviate-file-name (buffer-file-name)) )
will give you annoying error messages when redisplay is performed when
(buffer-file-name) yields nil. Of course you can ensure that show-path
is always nil in this case ... but
(:eval (and buffer-file-name (abbreviate-file-name buffer-file-name)))
is probably safer.
Michael.
