I don't know what it's called, the top right cluster of menu icons like wireless status, clock, battery life, spotlight, bluetooth, ichat, volume etc. Well, I've added a few lately, and want to know how to move them around relative to each other. I'm sure there's an easy way....

Hold down the command key and drag them around.

Thanks! That works for the Apple ones, but third party ones like Skype don't work - is that just because they didn't code it right?
Thanks again!

That's because Apple for some reason (around 10.2 I think) decided that they wanted to keep that functionality for themselves. There is some Haxie that will allow third party developers to use it for their own apps, but I assume this up to the developers to use. I might be wrong, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
