When I clock into an item in org-mode, the clock information is always at the extreme right of the mode line --- and thus unable to be seen unless I make my emacs window full screen. (Most of my buffers have a ton of minor modes, which are all listed in the mode line and push everything else out of sight). Interestingly, if I have other modes contributing to the mode line, the org-mode-line-string is always placed at the end of the global-mode-string: ,---- | global-mode-string is a variable defined in `C source code'. | Its value is | ((t jabber-activity-mode-string) | "" appt-mode-string display-time-string org-mode-line-string) `---- I would be most grateful for any tips on how I might move the org-clock information farther to the left in the mode line. Thanks, Matt
