--  <description>
--  A status bar is a special widget in which you can display messages.
--  This type of widget is generally found at the bottom of application
--  windows, and is used to display help or error messages.
--
--  This widget works as a stack of messages, ie all older messages are
--  kept when a new one is inserted. It is of course possible to remove the
--  most recent message from the stack.
--  This stack behavior is especially useful when messages can be displayed
--  from several places in your application. Thus, each one subprogram that
--  needs to print a message can simply push it on the stack, and does not
--  need to make sure that the user has had enough time to read the previous
--  message (a timeout can be set to automatically remove the message after
--  a specific delay)
--
--  Each message is associated with a specific Context_Id. Each of this context
--  can have a special name, and these context can be used to organize the
--  messages into categories (for instance one for help messages and one for
--  error messages). You can then selectively remove the most recent message
--  of each category.
