Hi,
A new string from src/dialogs/xml-tree.cpp: "<b>XML Editor</b> Select attributes and edit them."
I guess there should be some punctuation between "Editor" and "Select".

I was modeling the message after the "Welcome to Inkscape!" message that appears in the other status bar on start up. But I didn't think the XML Editor warranted an exclamation mark (even though it IS very cool). And then I thought a period looked funny.
Bulia, since having the status bar there was originally your idea, what should appear there by default?

For example:
When the focus is in the left pane:
"<b>1</b> out of <b>NN</b> nodes selected. <b>Click</b> or <b>Shift+click</b> to select nodes, <b>drag</b> to rearrange."
(Note: multiple selections with Shift is not implemented yet, so for now drop it)
When focus is in the attrs list:
"Attribute <b>attr-name</b> selected. Press <b>Ctrl+Enter</b> when done editing to commit."

And at least this error message:
"Cannot set id: An element with this id already exists"
when it refuses to set an id attribute value.
I run into this because I had to use XML editor to set id, again. Bryce, since you deleted it from obj props, can you please restore it back? It's VERY much needed.

Okay, the statusbar changes based on selection, and will throw the warning on an ID conflict. The g_critical should be disabled for that situation somehow, but there didn't look like an easy way to do that.

Thank you! I fixed some cosmetic issues there. Most notably, attribute values are now wrapped in their editing field (why didn't I think about that before?!). The button now shows "Set" instead of the crooky icon for these reasons:
- smaller
- more obvious
- with text, you can see when the button is enabled and when not

It is restored. I plan on doing no further work on the object properties dialog, so do not hesistate to make changes if needed.

A colon would be appropriate.
