Right.  I've developed the habit of opening the city and 
converting a worker to elvis and back, to refresh the city 
and see if it is still happy.  (Or refresh all cities before
end-of-turn to see if any have become unhappy.)  But having
the display kept up-to-date would be ever nicer ;-)

I assume the extra server CPU time will not matter much
_during_ a turn (since players won't be able to move units 
fast enough to cause problems), but will this leed to longer
time when the AI is moving units etc?  (That is, there are
quite a few calculations to recalc the full unhappiness, I
think.)  That wouldn't be so nice :-(
