I like this better certainly; it's kind of what I was going for as  
something to just do on the portal page. If we're not going to make it  
visible on _all_ screens I'm not sure it should be visible on other  
pages as well.

Partly I'm looking at the Google customized home page header  
(http://www.google.com/ig) for the idea here. http://netvibes.com/ has  
a similar small status row across the top. They also add the nice  
ability to type in a name for your page.

True enough. Let's assume we'll introduce a new class for it.

Sure. :)
