yes, we found also inconvenient to hide it, but actually also highly confusing to show it in Galileo's case due:
1. very large class names lead us to very unusable large context bars
2. a subject can only belogn to one department, which is not the case for a lot of classes, this confuse the students.

So, we are taking actions:
1. we already support class name / URL by "key" rather than by course name
2. working to allow a subject belong to more than one department.

The Parameter ShowContextBarP is set. Sadly it does not work. My assumption is it has something to do with the new design and a bug in dotlrn-master.tcl, but I can't investigate it now.

I think a reasonable compromise would be to show the context bar for the elements under a certain class.
This would eliminate the exceedingly long context bars that make it unusable, but would allow local navigation within the current class.
