I have the latest GoldenDict built from git (and Ubuntu 10.04.2) and many times the position of the new chrome-style status bar is wrong, as you can see from the picture. I think it should be at the bottom, not in the center of the program.
And, is this feature supposed to display the URL when hovering the mouse over a "link" like the different ones you see in the Welcome page when starting GoldenDict? Because in my system it doesn't!
