(Kmail is still playing up, so I sent my answer to Cheng, instead of
to the list).

Nowadays, you can easily and cleanly remove most widgets, it's really
nice:

Replace ~QStatusBar() (the ~ operator tries to invert an object in Python)
with the following, and thestatusbar will disappear:

      self.statusBar().parent().removeChild(self.statusBar())

This checks who owns the statusbar, and then asks the owner
to remove it. Works like a charm.
