I very much prefer the separate minibuffer. I've got it set up so that
it automatically is raised whenever the focus enters any epoch screen.
This makes it always ready and waiting when I'm in epoch.

Some people have said that this is an unimportant issue. I disagree
... a separate minibuffer is much more important than a menu bar!!!

BTW, I have a menu bar of sorts ... I have a wish application that has
buttons for my favourite epoch commands and executes them via gnudoit.
It's wonderful. Now if only there was a window manager that allowed me
to tie the wish window to an epoch screen ....

Re visual cues for input focus ... use olvwm --- it allows you to
specify a separate frame color for the window that has the focus. It's
wonderful. Actually, if you're using olwm there is no cost to move to
olvwm and there are many benefits.
