[VW7.5] Utilizing the inbuilt status bar facility

Class Window incorporates 2 instance variables, #statusLineHeight and
#allowsStatusLine along with their accessors.

I would like to use a status line facility but I can't find any
references anywhere to it, either in the documents or in any classes
or methods in the image.

In method Window>>allowsStatusLine, the comment is as follows:

"The status line is an area at the bottom of the window that
displays
status messages from an input method editor. The area is managed
by the input method editor and is logically considered part of the
window decoration."

I've experimented by programmatically adding an initialized
InputFieldSpec instance to an ApplicationWindow's builder at
initializations, but it seems that the status line is clipped
automatically and hence the added widget is not displayed.

Does anyone know how to set up an "input method editor"?
