You don't need a status bar to display a resizing grippy. On Mac OS X, 
Safari has a resizing grippy even when the status bar is turned off (as 
it is by default), Mail has a resizing grippy even though the status 
bar (yes it does have one) is at the top of the window instead of the 
bottom, and Preview has a resizing grippy even though (like Evince) it 
has no status bar at all. When these programs are displaying documents 
that don't need vertical scrollbars, the grippy has a transparent 
background.
