Well, this is not exactly a bug but I found 2 instances of modeline
being used instead of mode-line. M-x apropos gave the list below, of
which only the last 2 seem relevant *and* that is differently named to
the more common modeline.

Is there a reason for this?  Wouldn't this get missed when people
search for the more common 'mode-line'?

I've fixed most of the problematic cases.  Thanks.
