Sidestepping the holy-war topic here, I'd like to point out that there are plenty of status bars out there like tint2 and dzen2 that you could use. I've even heard of people using DWM in conjunction with xfce-panel. A patch to add the same functionality that one of these examples already does very well would likely be huge and pointless to write. Don't reinvent the wheel and all that.
