Lets see...

void QStatusBar::addWidget ( QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0, bool permanent = FALSE ) [virtual]
Adds widget to this status bar. widget is reparented if it isn't already a child of the QStatusBar.
widget is permanently visible if permanent is TRUE and may be obscured by temporary messages if permanent is FALSE. The default is FALSE.

If permanent is TRUE, widget is located at the far right of the status bar. If permanent is FALSE (the default), widget is located just to the left of the first permanent widget.

stretch is used to compute a suitable size for widget as the status bar grows and shrinks. The default of 0 uses a minimum of space.

This function may cause some flicker.
