Hm, do you think it is possible to add an option so that an item can get a fixed
width? In khexedit I print quite a lot of data on the status line and I don't
like (it looks bad) that the width of an entry changes all the time depending on
what is printed because it causes other entries to be moved horizontally when
this happens. Ok, I can add a widget (and freeze its width) to QStatusBar
bypassing KStatusBar but I prefer to avoid that.
