Well, I have :set ruler laststatus=2 and even a custom status line, but the "standard" status line ought to show it too if 'ruler' is set (which is one of the "useful options" set by the vimrc_example.vim). With 'laststatus' set to 0 (never a bottom status line) or 1 (only if there are at least two windows) the line and column will still be displayed if 'ruler' is set.
