Description Bryan W Clark 2005-07-26 16:42:23 UTC 
The only thing we need the status bar for is to show the real location of URLs
in a document.  Otherwise the statusbar serves no real purpose to us.  We need a
way to show the real location of URLs in a document, I've suggested something
like tooltips that popup as a fine solution.  Once that is implemented we should
remove the statusbar.

Before I go and implement this... we are currently using the statusbar to show
menu descriptions when hovering a menu... Can we just kill that? Or how do we go
about it?
Comment 2 Bryan W Clark 2005-09-02 16:54:13 UTC 
Not a big deal to lose that.  People shouldn't really need our menus to use
evince well.
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-09-06 08:22:02 UTC 
Fixed in cvs
