Uhm. Woops. Something like KXmlGuiWindow::createStandardStatusBarAction() ?

http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKXmlGuiWindow.html#3d7371171cafabe30cb3bb7355fdfed1

So it seems there already is such a thing in KXmlGuiWindow. However in
Konquerors case, it seems it won't work to just call this method
before the createGUI(), as this will add an option to the Settings
menu that when pressed will add a second (!) status bar. I'm guessing
this is the reason so many of the applications I've been looking at
have their own hide/show status bar code.

I'm not sure how to proceed with this now actually. Ideas? You can try
this funny double status bar behavior by just adding
createStandardStatusBarAction() right before the createGUI() call.
