Expected Behavior

relocating the menubar icon by holding down the command key and click/draging the icon to a new position in the menubar should save that location and result in it maintaining that location across launches.

Actual Behavior

upon quitting the application and launching it again, the icon displays left-most in the status area of the menubar instead of where you relocated it.

Additional Information

It is recommended that the NSStatusItem have its autosave name set rather than letting the system assign one, this can be done in the initWithIcon method in shell/browser/ui/tray_icon_cocoa.mm
