Unable to hide status bar - Workaround ?

Hello,
I'm unable to hide the status bar. Click on View->Status Bar hide it but when I restart k-meleon it reappears.
It's really a problem for me as I must release a version without toolbar and status bar as soon as possible ( it's an application launcher based on XHTML).
Is there a preference I can set in about:config to hide the status bar ?
Or is there a way to hide it at startup with a macro ? (code snippet appreciated)
That's said k-meleon is a great piece of code !
Thanks,
Christophe

You can used fullscreen mode to do this. Filter in about:config by 'fullscreen'.
kmeleon.plugins.fullscreen.hide_statusbar
And forced K-Meleon to start in fullscreen mode.
Or you can config all this fullscreen prefs in menu:
Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Select 'Fullscreen plugin' and click in 'Config...' buton.

Be sure, when you change the value that, before restarting K-Meleon, the loader don't be always launched.
In this case, K-Meleon wouldn't really be stopped, and when relaunching, modifications wouldn't be made.

Thanks for answers.
@desga2 : I don't want k-meleon in fullscreen mode (maybe for another version of my launcher but not for this one).
@jujuland : no loader.exe in the task manager. I tried to change the value from the menu, close k-meleon and restart my computer : do not work.
For info I tried with Pocket-K-Meleon 1.12, K-Meleon NX 1811, and KMeleon 1.1.3. None works on my computer (meaning : none hides the statusbar).
Does someone know where k-meleon store this parameter on the disk when it works ?

Add the following line to your profile's user.js (Edit > Configuration > User Settings):
user_pref("kmeleon.display.statusbar", false);
Alternatively you might add the following line to <InstallDir>\defaults\pref\kmeleon.js:
pref("kmeleon.display.statusbar", false);
I will add a switch to the km 1.5 preferences panel.

I did both. Still not working. I tried on another computer where it was the first install of k-meleon : same behaviour. Systems used : Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows XP Family Edition V5.1.
But I finally get it by adding a line in the startup handler of main.kmm :
OnStartup{
...
id(ID_VIEW_STATUS_BAR);
}
Thanks to all who take time to answer.

Sorry, I did not realize that the kmeleon.display.statusbar pref is new in km 1.5, which I'm using (and which preserves the status bar visibility BTW).

That's what I tried first (before I knew about the pref) and that didn't work in 1.5.

main.kmm is inside the folder macros in the K-Meleon
main folder (only in versions 1.1 and higher, not in
1.0 and related versions).

In which place of main.kmm file should I add this line?

Search in main.kmm: OnStartup{
Add line: id(ID_VIEW_STATUS_BAR);

Yes. I've tried this beta too. I have problem with toolbars in K-Meleon 1.5 beta. When I customize toolbars and then restart, toolbars go back to defult settings. Also K-M 1.5beta crash sometimes so I prefer 1.15 on this moment.

I found the solution of my problem. I added line id(ID_VIEW_STATUS_BAR); under OnOpenwindow{ and everything works fine!
