I look for add the follow informations in statusbar :

* current syntax highlighting
* current file encoding
* current tab size

Something like textmate.

The click event on current syntax highlighting statusbar widget open languages list menu popup.
The click event on current file encoding statusbar widget go to convert encoding user interface.
The syntax highlighting statusbar widget and tab size statusbar widget can be GtkComboBox like in Textmate application.

What do you think about it ?
