New OS X menubar feature

Ok, I don't know if I am the only person who didn't notice this, but i haven't seen it mentioned any where.

You can now rearrange the items on the menu bar by command clicking them. I remember wanting this real bad in Tiger.

Wow. You mean the menu bar icons on the right, right? I must try this tonight when I'm back on my Mac.

As far as I can tell this only works with Apples own stuff. StuffIts Magic Menu, Plaxo, Quicksilver, Little Snitch and Drop Copy won't move...

I was never aware of this. I just did it on my iMac G5 and it worked like a charm. Very interesting.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention (thanks to the post below ) that I'm running Tiger.

This is also a Tiger feature. It works in any Finder window menu/toolbar and the Menubar to the far right in the Desktop. As mentioned earlier, only Mac apps will allow their icons to be reshuffled.
