Please don't take the status bar example too literally, it was just the first
place I thought of, and is not the focus of my message.

To get a meaningful report probably requires full logging of all the
transactions anyway, which is what I do for Emacs.

In any case I've already surrendered on this issue.

Please redirect any frontend errors using Gdb in Emacs reported on this list to
emacs-devel ;-)

Thanks.
