Re: [Evolution-hackers] Status bar

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).
