Move status bar to separate thread

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For saving, and mosaic generation, we should have some status indicator (ala 
blue progress bar, 
maybe status messages emitted at certain key points in execution) to show the 
user that the 
application is doing work, and to indicate when it has finished.

The initial status bars are up, however, they run in the same thread as the UI 
code.  This makes them appear less 
responsive, since they have to compete with the MosaicPane for painting time.  
Next step should be to separate 
the status bar from the UI thread.
