I was trying to use the text message integrated in the mainwindow's status bar, since it prevents some ugly artefacts I have with the QLabel added manually on top. The patch seems trivial, but somehow it triggers a consistent crash in the painting code (viewitem.cpp, line 933), which I don't seem to be able to get rid of. Assuming that maybe QStatusBar's showMessage() wasn't thread-safe I added a QMutex, but even that doesn't help.

Maybe statusBar() returns NULL because setMessage() is called very early.
