Yes. GtkStatusbar now allows you to avoid the "context" mess by
passing 0 for the context ID, so is pretty easy to use.

Assuming you want that, which few people do ;-), you amazingly enough
pack a progress bar and a status bar into a GtkHBox (which is all
GnomeAppBar does IIRC).

Your readers won't appreciate the real answer, which is that many
people want to replace all these ways with yet another way. ;-) See
libegg menu code. There will be some RFP action and much discussion of
this over the next months I have a feeling.

I use GtkItemFactory or create menus manually, myself.
