You've hit one the most important issues wxHaskell: documentation :-)
Although I think that it is a good thing that there is at least
some (good) documentation, it would be good if there was some better
overview of where to find the things you are looking for -- especially
with regard to attributes.

Success with the statusbars,
  -- Daan.

ps. See the "samples/wx/" "minimal" and "imageviewer" example for a statusbar
