Does the cursor change "style" between the two modes?  "Overwrite mode"
looks "thicker" than "Insert mode".  That is the way I see which mode I
am using, for both Windows and Linux installs.  For 4.0.5, it states
"Overwrite" in the bottom bar, but not "Insert"  Of course I rarely look
at that bottom bar while I am typing a document.  I look at the cursor
instead.
