the code you use is a bit old, it seems you use the KDevelop-2 based-template.
Now the code has evolved for the statusbar and toolbar:
	createStandardStatusBarAction();
    	setStandardToolBarMenuEnabled(true);
The size of the window is automatically managed and the statusbar should be 
resized nicely. I don't have time this week to look into it as KTurtle will 
be presented at FOSDEM and I'll concentrate on working on it.
Next week, I'll have more time.

I use Plastik and tried KVocTRain and no crash so far.
Could you send me an exact crash procedure please?
I also run cvs HEAD with qt-copy.

I don't know exactly about cells. For the font config, KConfig XT will be  the 
thing to code next. I can help you with that if you want.
