Both games I am maintaining have a status bar to show game status
(who is to move, score, level, whatever).  The size widgets actually
make the status bars look better, imo, because the item at the right
is indented a bit from the extreme right.  However, I shall be removing
the size grips because no other KDE apps have them.  Pity.  They
make the resizing operation easier for the user, imo.
