Finding Unseen Items in Status Menu

Haven't been out here in a while, so please forgive me if this has already been covered. I went back through some archives, but saw no mention of this issue. I am currently using the latest version of Lion, and I have all updates installed. Is there a way to find the unseen icons in the status
