This message bar replaces modal message boxes when I didn't want to show 
a modal message box.

Any Unix program that does not crash can return an integer value between 
0 and 127 to its parent process. The convention is that 0 means that 
everything is ok, and any other value should indicate an error. This is 
the reason why a message is displayed when the Gambas program debugged 
by the IDE does not return zero. Something happened.

When the program actually crashes (segmentation fault...), which should 
never happens, a modal message box with a bomb icon (coming from the 
Atari TOS operating system) is displayed.
