[André Renault <kestrel.andre@xxxxxxxxx>]

The status bar doesn't bug me for now. It's just my corrupted copy. I could
try it tonight (I'm on a PC; I may go to the mall in Angers tonight where
there's WiFi). I'd like to add my congrats for the graphics. God to see Igor
did some good work.

Speaking of graphics, I have a friend who's amazing with Photoshop and
Inkscape. His gallery is www.sycamoreent.webatu.com and he may give us
better icons than we have now (in terms of HIG compliance). Interested? If
you are I'll send him an email.
