hey wes,

actually i disagree with showing the error in a status bar vs a popup 
dialog box.  an application i used to use day in and day out did its 
error handling this way and it was one of the most annoying things about 
that program.  i would do something and i had the only indication that 
the process completed or failed was on the status bar, unlike all the 
other apps i used.  most applications do provide user feedback on errors 
and such via dialog boxes (microsoft is especially fond of them).

if you have your heart set on this way of error handling, maybe we can 
make it a user preference or something.
