I'm having trouble with highline-global-mode (v7.2.2), running on Oracle
Linux 2.6.32 (x86_64). When i set the var highline-keep-highlight it is
ignored. I've tried starting up with `emacs -q`, then loading/starting the
mode, and setting the var, but it still acts as if it hasn't been set.

Seems like this feature would likely double the usefulness of highline mode.
Shame it's not working on my host.

Any ideas about what sort of things might be interfering with it?
