Just to be clear, I have no problem with leaving support for the detached
minibuffer in; but it doesn't work right now, and I don't see it as being
all that valuable compared to the other stuff that still needs to be done,
so fixing it is going to be way down on my list.  I gather that Simon and
Chuck feel the same way.  This public outcry we're seeing may change their
minds, but of course, doing it yourself will always be the best way of
making sure it gets done!
