Subject: Mode lines and stuff

I thought I could be a bit naughty and use the minor mode specs to say
whether Gnus is online or not. So I did this in `gnus-agent-mode',
which is a minor mode installed in all Gnus buffers:
(defvar gnus-agent-mode-status '(gnus-agent-mode " Online"))
(defun gnus-agent-mode ()
...
(unless (assq 'gnus-agent-mode minor-mode-alist)
(push gnus-agent-mode-status minor-mode-alist))
...)
And then to toggle on and off, I use this command:
(defun gnus-agent-toggle-online (online)
"Toggle whether Gnus is online or not."
(interactive (list (not gnus-online)))
(if (setq gnus-online (not gnus-online))
(setcar (cdr gnus-agent-mode-status) " Online")
(setcar (cdr gnus-agent-mode-status) " Offline"))
(set-buffer-modified-p t))
This works. However, it works badly. Each time I run this command, a
new " Online" (or " Offline") is added to the mode line, so it grows
rather big. Not only that, whenever this command is used, *all* the
old " Online"s (or " Offline"s) flip over.
This is all rather strange. Anyone here familiar with how the mode
bar works?
