Dropping KToolBarStatusLabelAction

[Will Stephenson]

I'd like to propose a late removal of KToolBarStatusLabelAction.  

Reasons:
*) Its original reason for existence was to put labels in toolbars.  In KDE3 a 
hack involving naming the label "kde toolbar widget" was necessary for the 
widget to be styled.  This resulted in lots of copy n'paste from 
konq_misc.cc.
   This reason no longer exists in KDE4 - it is only used by 
kfontinst/viewpart and kpovmodeller now.  Systemsettings was using it but 
noticed that 
*) The current implementation is broken, no label appears in the toolbar, and 
nobody complained yet.
 
KToolbarLabelAction * labelAction  = new KToolbarLabelAction( otherWidget, 
i18n("&Search:"), this );
(and its source code)
can be replaced with

QLabel * searchLabel = new QLabel( i18n("&Search:"), this );
searchLabel->setFont( KGlobalSettings::toolBarFont() );
label->setBuddy( otherWidget );
KAction * searchText = new KAction( this );
searchText->setDefaultWidget( searchLabel );

The only thing KToolbarLabelAction does better is that it can be inserted into 
multiple toolbars and shows a label in each. 

Is anyone aware of uses outside our SVN who depend on it?
