Actually, it's best to just ignore this 'number of items' thing.

The reason that shows up is because GtkStatusBar derives from GtkBox,
and Glade uses a special "number of items" virtual property on GtkBox
in order to control how many placeholders to add to the box in
Glade's workspace (the placeholders are the things allowing you
to add child widgets).

The number-of-items special property should be disabled for
status bars (the fact it shows up is a bug).
