KStatusBar inherits QStatusBar now. Widgets on the left side of ststusbar are
now called permanent. So, to add left-aligned widget you must do:

  statusbar()->addWidget(myWidget, 0, true); //using QStatusBar API

From QT docs:
   void QStatusBar::addWidget ( QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0, 
                                bool permanent = FALSE ) 
   
   Adds widget to this status bar. 

   widget is permanently visible if permanent is TRUE, and is obscured by
   temporary messages if permanent is FALSE. The default is FALSE. 

   stretch is used to compute a suitable size for widget as the status bar grows
   and shrinks. The default of 0 uses a minimum of space. 

   If permanent is TRUE, widget is located at the far right of the status bar.
   If permanent is FALSE (the default) widget is located just to the left of the
   first permanent widget. 

KStatusBar::setItemAlignment() aligns text inside text item (QLabel)
