updating Konqueror status bar text

Hi. I'm having a problem trying to update the status bar in Konqueror. I have an AJAX function that requests an update from the server, with:

function xmlGET(url, action)
/**
call this function to send an XML GET request to the server. 'url' is the
page to request from the server. 'action' is an integer to call a function
in processXMLResult() to update part of the current page's content
with data returned from the server.
**/
  {
  update_content = action;
  prompt("sending GET request...");
  xmlGETdoc(url);
  }

function prompt(msg)
  {
  window.status = msg;
  }


Just to make sure it's not my code, I have written a small test page to update the status bar test:

The code works fine in Firefox, and the status bar text is updated OK. In Konqueror under Settings->Configure Konqueror->Java & Javascript->Javascript I have checked the Allow radio button for Modify status bar text, and saved this, but I still cannot update the status bar text. Does anyone else have this problem, and what do I need to do to fix it please?

I'm using Konqueror 3.5.6-0.1.fc6 Red Hat (Using KDE 3.5.6-0.3.fc6 Fedora Core.
