Hi, PhoneWindowManager implements most of the policy for where to place
screen decorations (note this has nothing to do with the home screen, the
status bar is in no way part of the home screen, it is a separate entity).

The status bar itself is implemented in I think StatusBarService and related
code; that can be customized, and used as a model for similar dscreen
decorations.
