        Me too. Which is why we don't support push pop as such. What we do
support is a per component push / pop type effect so that if we have this
sequence:
  
Component       Action                  Status
A               set to Foo              Foo
B               set to Baa              Baa
B               set to "" or NULL       Foo
A               remove                  ""
  
        This seems to me to be the most logical and consistant way of
sharing the status bar between multiple components. The way it is
implemented uses one statusbar id per component ( and 1 for tooltips
). There is no 'push / pop' action visible in the API.
  
        FWIW the statusbar structure made this very easy.
