So, where does it go when the user is on a text terminal?  Does it
just disappear?

I don't really like this approach for the default.  As options, yes.
(And add in the option to put it in the terminal status line or the
titlebar.)  But I'm not convinced that requiring the user to decide
where a little floating frame will do the least damage (ie, cover up
things that are less likely to be important) is a good thing.
