Vi Mode Bar => Status-Bar

[Sven Brauch]

Hmm, yeah, but it has been like this for a very long time now and I've
never heard anyone complaining (and I hear a lot of complaints) ;)

I'm not sure, but I don't really see a need for changing anything in
kdevelop... I'll ask the others about it.

Best regards,
Sven
