I don't understand. As a GNOME application, AbiWord should respect
generic gnome settings, if they say: remove the XXX bar, it's because
the user doesn't want it at all.

It currently doesn't seem to have a checkbox for doing that, but why
would removing the statusbar be an outstanding bug?

If this is refering to the ability of removing the status bar, then I
disagree. If windows does not provide the facility to do it, too bad.
Windows doesn't support signals for automatic save on crash either,
should we ditch that unix only feature? I think not...

If it was misquoted, then disregard the last paragraph, since I'm not
sure what it meant.
