What's that all about? Useful to whom?

There doesn't seem to be an option or area
where it is defined... IOW I can't find the
option to kill it;~) Is there an option?

I can see from the CSS shadows/outlines that
to screen the darned thing takes up a column
which could be more usefully occupied by a
then unwrapped title and/or description.

the Display status icons is indeed to enable or disable these icons, they are used for user upload

the space the take up isn't reserverd for anything else at this point, so removing it in the template wouldn't cause any problems

yes, should be
