Thoughts about statusbar

[Alex Fiestas]

Taking a look at some apps, I've noticed that most of them have an almost 
unused statusbar (or totally not used in some cases) resulting in a big empty 
grey space.

In the same way that bit a bit we're fixing the KStatusNotifeir behavior in 
our apps, should we fix the status bar by removing it and placing somewhere 
else the content (if they are really needed?)

The easier thing though, and the very least we should do is hide it by default 
as some apps do.

What do you think? is statusbar (as badly used right now) needed?
