Is that information really useful? Except the serious
problems state
IMHO a progress indicator should be enough. I know for
debugging
purposes the finer grained information is valuable, but for
the end
users I think it doesn't matter that much wether the uses
are built
already or not. Or am I wrong?

We already have a status interface IIRC (Hamish added it),
so all thats
needed is some way to display an icon I guess. I think we
should have
one method to show it constantly and one that fades it out
after a
while.
currently the implementation uses the statusbar in the
mainwindow, but I
think some things should later also use the kde notification
system,
think about build-finishes. Or we can implement a separate
dockwidget
like Eclipse for that.
