Statusbar Overflow?

[George Deprez <deprez seas smu edu>]

Hello All,

I was wondering if  GTK_STATUSBAR will overflow if too much is pushed
into it.

I have an app where the mouse position is pushed into it whenever
motion is detected.
Should I pop it before adding another?
I did not see a gtk_statusbar_clear(); it seems like this would be a
nice function.

Also, gtk_statusbar_get_context_id () asks for a context_description.
I just put "mouseX" and "mouseY".
What is the significance of this?

Finally, would it be better to switch to GnomeAppbars? So far, I am
sticking to gtk widgets.

Thanks,
George
