Hi folks,

Working on paragraph breaks for the change tracker is not trivial, so I 
decided to tackle bug 1301 (which is marked trivial :) for a change of pace.

Here is a patch and .ui file (attached) that implements Alfredo's and John's 
idea of a marker (see "bug" 1301) that reflects whether change-tracking mode 
is engaged. Whether this is a feature enhancement or a bug-fix can be 
debated, but I vote that something along this line be added for 1.4.0.

The indicator is a stack of three horizontal lines, black, red, blue, which 
are the colours used in change tracking. I didn't go with the padlock (see 
bug 1301), as it would suggest to me that the file could not be edited. This 
indicator shows up in the QT statusBar.

If you want to use a different indicator, say the padlock icon, or make the 
current one look nicer, go for it.

(Don't forget to run autogen.sh after adding the .ui file to your source.)

Now back to paragraph breaks...

Cheers,
JB
