Thanks! I was able to move the global-mode-string farther up in the default-mode-line-format variable. Now if only I could get the org-mode-line-string as the first entry in the global-mode-string. Upon further reflection, I decided I would prefer the following behavior: - When I clock into an item, a header line appears with the org-mode-line-string -- i.e., the clock information. - When I clock out of an item, the header line disappears (i.e., header-line-format is set to nil). I'll see if I can cook something up using the org-clock hooks.
