I posted this on gnu.emacs gnus, it seems as though the problem is
with the way I am setting up my mode-line.

I am setting the mode-line char's:

      (set-style-foreground s1 "black")
      (set-style-background s1 "limegreen")
      (set-style-font s1 "9x15")

      (setq s2 (make-style))
      (set-style-foreground s2 "blue")
      (set-style-background s2 "grey80")
      (set-style-font s2 "-itc-zapfchancery-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

      (setq default-mode-line-format
	    (list
	     s2
	     ""
	     mode-line-modified
	     s1
	     mode-line-buffer-identification
	     s2
	     "   "
	     global-mode-string
	     "   %[("
	     'mode-name
	     minor-mode-alist
	     "%n"
	     mode-line-process
	     ")%]---"
	     (cons -3 "%p")
	     "-%-"
	     ))

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ben...
