It's a hack if the status bar message is not about the progression of an
operation.

I see how it's not a must (since Evolution::Component::createControl can
return any Bonobo::Control as the status bar), but I'm working on the Mail
component so not using EActivityHandler is not an option.
Would you accept a patch for EActivityHandler to create a new
e_activity_handler_show_message() method?
