My minibuffer lives in its own frame, with no obvious "window above". [ At startup, there is no modeline at all. Admittedly, by the time read-passwd gets called, there will probably be some frame displaying a window with modeline somewhere, but the point is that there's no clear modeline attached to the minibuffer, in general. ] Stefan
