We allow the application indicators to move themselves within the
application indicator area, but we don't allow them to move themselves
into the system indicator area.  So if you had this:

  [yours gtg tomboy] sound messaging 

You could change it to:

  [gtg tomboy yours] sound messaging

But you won't be able to move your indicator outside of the brackets.
