I was hoping that `force-mode-line-update' would work but it doesn't seem to do the job. It updates eventually, but not always. Quite the bummer. Am I doing something wrong? Are there any decent alternatives? I like the idea of something outside of the buffer itself, to use as a status line. And ideally, I'd love to find something that works in XEmacs, too....
