        Ok; I just fixed this in the following way: if you call
bonobo_ui_component_set_status with either NULL or "" then instead of
doing a set I do a bonobo_ui_component_rm ("/status/main/*") that kills   
the status text, But, better than this it effectively does a 'pop' and    
if another component had an item overridden there re-instates it which is
nice. 

        Regards,
 
                Michael.
