What I meant was, as I disabled Spotlight, the Spotlight icon is no
longer in the menubar.  I want to reposition the Qs icon to be the
rightmost of the third-party icons, so it seems to replace the
Spotlight icon.  It's that I can't reposition it at all.  When I try
to command-drag, the drop-down menu appears; when I try this on other
icons, it allows them to be re-ordered.

Something to note: command-drag also doesn't work on Visor's icon.
