Interaction with clicking? Oh, please, no! In fact, if your mouse even goes near it, it should move away or become transparent. Status bars are informational, not interactional. (Hmm, not a word, but maybe it should be).

haah ok, your point is "replace status bar with dynamic app-native notifications", correct?
In that case, interactivity is not asked for, rather automated intelligent dismissal, i agree.

On the other hand we all know status bars offer interactivity, e.g. clicking the encryption icon on the bottom right of the browser would open a page with detailed information..
How is your position on interactivity with application-born notifications now?
