Bug Description

A nice touch would be to add an insensitive and centered final row to the contacts list that displayed how many contacts that one has. It should simply read "105 Contacts" or such.

This could also potentially be useful statistical or debugging information.

I was looking at how NE implements this, in the statusbar, and I did it just the same way in Dexter. I think it is REALLY nice, and it updates as contacts are imported, created, deleted, merged, and searched! so, I am going to mark this as fix committed.

It doesn't really make sense the way it is. In Nautilus, the statusbar is where it is because it describes the folder you are viewing, the number of files in the folder and the free space available to you. In Dexter, "101 contacts" does not describe the contact I'm viewing. So this feels misplaced. It should definitely be grouped in the contact list with the content it describes.
