Drew, can you please stop reopening bugs because the solution is not 
EXACTLY what you want.

At least explain what it is that is missing so we can have a clue what 
it is you are not happy with.

A visually impaired new Emacs user just asked a question about this
variable on help-emacs-windows <at> gnu.org. I had never heard of this
variable. I see now that it is a defvar, even though it seems to be
documented as a user "flag". Seems like it should be a defcustom.
