Subject: plugged/unplugged changes scenery

I've mass posted this message in dozens of related groups. Namely
gnus.emacs.gnus and here...
Anyone else get annoyed by forgetting they are unplugged and doing things
like sending mail or pressing "g" ? Anyone else think the messaged in
mode line isn't very noticable?..
Well here's a wild idea...Some lisp wizard designs some code that is a
function for toggling "plug/unplugged" but with this difference. This
toggle will call a command in the OS that will set a different
background to root window, when unplugged. Users can have all kinds
of silly things for wallpaper when unplugged. "Skull and cross" bones
may be popular. I've already designed a large blinking gif with a
Lars like countenance that says " Heads up Dude, you are unplugged"
in a load brazen voice.
