Hi,

ok, you conviced me that a first version of this will not add anything to the 
game area. I can think about buttons later on ...

But what problems do you have? After fixing GameDisplay::resize_game_area in 
display.cc i can move the statusbar and the gamearea whereever i want without 
having any artefacts. I haven't run this on maemo yet, but do this directly 
in a 800x480 window under stock ubuntu, but i don't expect this to have an 
impact on the display.
