Hi,

What do people think about moving mode-line-position before
global-mode-string in mode-line-format?

global-mode-string can become quite long if there are several modes
running, and this makes the nice and very useful mode-line-position
scroll of to the far right (where it becomes invisible, and useless).

Example, from this:
  -=:**  *mail*            (Message MML Fly Abbrev)--L35--Top------------------
To this:
  -=:**  *mail*          L35--Top--(Message MML Fly Abbrev)--------------------
Or something along those lines...

Cheers,
