Hey Michael,

hmm, i'm not sure you're talking about the same status bar here.  evolution has its own thing that can handle multiple concurrent tasks which is packs into a row of clipped buttons, it also limits how many it ever shows if there are a lot of things running.

so ettore has just moved this from being a remote object talking to a shell-remote widget, to a local widget embedded in a control frame in the shell (if that's the right terminology).

	Sounds interesting; so you're not sending the text to the <status>
node, but a control instead ? - fair enough; I had some problem (AFAIR)
with setting extremely long status messages causing the bar to re-size
the toplevel in some nastily painful way - I don't know if that'll be
fixable from inside the control though; is that possibly an issue ? 

	Regards,
