Since currently it shows a single character for the input method, how about just appending a "+" in the case where there are others active as well... This presumes that one is the "main" input method, and others are "subsidiary", but that seems likely to be true in many (most?) cases, and it's certainly more useful than _only_ displaying a "+" or something... -Miles -- Year, n.
