For Directory you want to use exec so you need to change your code like this

    def showDirDialog(self):
        directory=os.path.expanduser('~')
        dirPath=QtGui.QFileDialog(self,"Select Render Directory",directory)
        dirPath.setFileMode(QtGui.QFileDialog.DirectoryOnly)
        if dirPath.exec_() == 1:
            fname_list = str(dirPath.selectedFiles()[0])
            print fname_list

For changing the statusBar text you need to implement focusIn and out Event
and Justin already mention about that in reimplement QPlainText’s
focusInEvent in another source file ,how to ? thread.
