[pygtk] Dividing the StatusBar

[Hans-Joachim Widmaier]

Yesterday I had the urge to provide users of my download utility with a ProgressBar
to give a hint as to how things were going. I already had a StatusBar, and it seemed 
like the perfect place to put it in. Reading the Docs showed that there wasn't a way
to do that. Until I saw in the Widget Hierarchy that StatusBar is derived from HBox.
So I added 3 simple lines to my application:

        self.progbar   = gtk.ProgressBar()
	self.progbar.set_size_request(100, -1)
	self.statusbar.pack_start(self.progbar, False, True, 0)

It worked. It worked first time perfectly - now if that ain't gonna make you
suspicious!

As it isn't documented, this must be considered a hack. Any guesses as to whether
this will stay working with future versions of GTK+?

Regards,
Hans-Joachim
