Yes, it can.

We can surely work on this.

As already said, PassivePopups have a temporary implementation. And we can 
surely substitute them with something other in next release (but NOT restoring 
the status bar. At least this is my idea).

For rekonq 0.2 we can surely release with the current implementation (bugfixed 
a bit, obviously...) and discuss it with calm.
