Bug Description
It should be possible to be able to verify at a glance which version of the kernel is running.
Imagine an application being disastrously incompatible with a particular kernel.
I suggest an *option* to display the kernel version in (1) the status bar and (2) the command prompt,
but
definitely in both "About This Computer" and "System Setting>Details".
