/**
 *  @short %KDE statusbar widget
 *
 *  Display status messages.
 *
 *  You can insert text labels or custom widgets. Their geometry is managed
 *  internally. KStatusBar resizes itself, but positioning is left to
 *  KMainWindow (or to you, if you don't use KMainWindow ).
 *
 *  A special type of item is a message which is a temporary text-message
 *  displayed on top of other items in full-width. Messages are visible for
 *  specified time, or until you call the slot QStatusBar::clearMessage(). See
 *  QStatusBar::showMessage for details.
 *
 *  It is useful to connect the KActionCollection signals to the
 *  QStatusBar::showMessage slots.
 *
 *  KStatusBar inherits QStatusBar, you can freely use all QStatusBar
 *  methods.
 *
 *  Empty text items are not visible. They will become visible when you change
 *  (add) text.
