Hi Peter, I don’t like to disagree with you Mr President ;-) ; but the Command-key does work on ‘some' third party items in the Menu Bar, in this instance the Command-key works to move the iStat Menus in Snow Leopard & Lion. Command-key dragging doesn’t always work: You can’t move or remove the Spotlight icon because it isn’t really a status menu; it’s a system menu, like the menu at the other end of the menu bar. Some status menus created by third-party software don’t respond to the Command Key.
