That gives me an error "State map must have an even number of
elements". If I use {-foreground #a3a3a3} I get no error, but I still
have a dimmed label.  All my playing around with the above options
fails to create a label which won't dim!

That sounds like a good approach in some instances, but not this one,
since under some circumstances the status bar in question needs to
become active for user input, so would need to accept events.
