Hysterical raisins.

Before I changed that code, the status pane was "inside" the pane that I raised
up to full window status under some conditions.  The real estate came for
basically free, since it's always lived in that part of that pane. Moving it to
the main window would require adding a line to display it.

We could move it if anybody feels strongly about it.  If we do real multi-pane
display, we probably want to make it targetable to a given window...

Even more annoying - you can't click-and-drag to select 2 or 3 messages, then
move the mouse up 5 or 6 lines, and shift-click to add another line or set of
lines - all the intermediate lines get marked as well. Quite possibly another
manifestation of the same bug.

There's also some wonky focus and auto-raise issues - the message window likes
to auto-raise itself, which is quite annoying if you're concentrating on the
ftoc to manage messages...

I've managed to get into situations where the cursor was inside the sedit
window, and the window manager thought focus was there (as demonstrated by the
window decorations), but it was elsewhere - no blinking-vertical-bar cursor at
'point' in the text, and keystrokes go poof.  Move the mouse out and back in,
and it reappears..., and the keystrokes actually show up as letter...
