I have seen different message functions in LyX and wonder what purpose they fulfill. Right now I am concerned with two of them.

In GuiView.cpp:

"setMessage" as in "dr.setMessage": seems to show a message in both the status bar as well as the message pane on one line together with the command issued.

But then there is another one sometimes used instead, e.g. in GuiToolbar.cpp:

"message" as in "owner_.message": seems to show a message before the command is issued.

The usage of the latter one is a bit puzzling to me since the user will not see this message in the status bar because it disappears immediately when the command, e.g. "(toolbar-toggle standard)", shows up.

Maybe someone can enlighten me on this.
