"Omit" minor mode indicator in modeline of non-Dired buffers

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2001-10-27 on harpo.homeip.net
Important settings:

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

If I use customize to enable `dired-omit-files-p' (from the Dired-X
group), I always see "Omit" in the modeline, even in non-Dired
buffers.  Granted, this is a global setting, but shouldn't users only
see the string in Dired modelines since the option only affects Dired?

I see this with "emacs -q --no-site-file".

Thanks,
Sam
