Now, little bit more constructive:

Preferences is created as soon as the application gets started. Status on
the other hand is always created for a login session. This is something
different, because it should be possible to use jayshare even when you are
offline (to set up the export list or to modify the download queue, both
needs presence of the preferences, but not of status).

That means: Preferences could use Status, but does not derive from it. It
could send login data to the Status instance as soon as it is to be created.

Another major difference:
Preferences has to be persistent, Status is transient. I don't think it is a
good idea to derive a persistent from a transient class, however, I'd love
to get your arguments ...
