No forgiveness necessary, statusbar is pointlessly complicated in this
respect. In GTK unstable devel version you can just use "0" for the
context id.

In 1.2 though, you have to get one explicitly. Just do this once:
 context_id = gtk_statusbar_get_context_id (statusbar, "MyID");

Then always use that context ID. I'd just use push/pop, but if you 
want to remove a specific message instead of "last one pushed," 
you have to use _remove() with the return value from _push() as the 
message_id.
