I can't see how to extract a small test case out of it, but these steps are 
100% reliable here:

1) open Konqueror with any profile
2) make sure it has only one view (apart from the sidebar)
3) add the sidebar or sidebar tng in case it isn't shown yet
4) remove it again
5) add it again
6) main view's status bar is now empty

any place where I can add some debug output to check what's happening? I 
don't really care too much if it only happens to me, but in case I can help 
track down a weird bug :)
I tried to hide() and show() the status bar a few times via DCOP, which does 
hide and show it, but does not restore the contents, same for any kind of 
resizing. width() and height() seem to return sane results, no idea about 
QWidget's internals.
