THis reminds me, now that 3.8 (and 3.9) are out, could we perhaps
try to consolidate the statuscell situation around contiguous displays?

I'd really like to be able to configure my Evolution 88 status cells
on the left hand side, and would also like to have them available to
BrlAPI clients so that I could use the full 88 cell width of
my display for GNOME.

I was tempted to implement a statusCell parameter for the HandyTech
driver in the past several times, but as I understand it, you have
a better idea which would solve the issue generically.

What is the status on this one?  How can I help?
