Definitely not!  No MSWormOS here!  No proprietaryware in fact (so no 
nvidia drivers or flash or proprietary games... with the single exception 
being a 20-year-old DOS game, Master of Orion original, copyright 1993 
(that's the bugfix from the version I originally purchased, actually, so 
perhaps 1992 on the original), that I still run in dosbox.  My excuse on 
that is that I agreed to its EULA long ago, and unlike other 
proprietaryware, haven't unagreed to it yet, so (to the best of my 
knowledge) I can still legally run it.  Of course that wouldn't fly at 
all with anything new, including eXPrivacy or newer MSWormOS.

I'm guessing your pan package is built against gtk3, not gtk2, and for 
all I know they don't have status bars and systray icons any more.  If 
they do, you may find it as an option.  Additionally, I know there's a 
build-time option for libnotify integration, which may replace the systray 
icon, I'm not sure.  What I know is that I have that build option turned 
off here, and in pan prefs on the misc tab, there's a systray behavior 
section, with both options checked.  Pan starts minimized, and minimizes 
to tray when I hit the close button (but quits if I actually use file, 
quit).

The statusbar, meanwhile, has just always been there, here.  I don't see 
an option for it, it has just always been there.  But as I said, that's 
possibly a gtk2 thing that you'd not have with pan built against gtk3.  
I'm not sure.
