Hi

I'm not sure about this one ; many games are using protections that 
trigger lots of exceptions to fool potential crackers, I'm afraid this 
would just make the status bar not very readable in that case.
Although exceptions can be interesting to see when debugging your own 
crashing program, there're a lot of exceptions going on in "normal" 
cases that you certainly don't want to see, nor to be notified in the 
status bar.

Also, the status bar is already rather full, and I was thinking about 
adding some informations about current disk operations (track, sector, 
head, ...) which would require between 10 and 15 chars.


Regarding the other points of your lists, I don't have any opinion, I'm 
not a regular user of debugger / natfeats.
