Feature Request: Add a position setting for the status panel indicator #196

It would be pretty nice and simple to implement to be able to choose between Left/Center/Right for the shellshape icon on the status panel!

If you want to do this manually you can edit extension.js, search for addToStatusArea and edit the line to something like this: Main.panel.addToStatusArea('shellshape-indicator', _indicator, 1, 'left');

Is this a common feature in extensions? I've never wanted to change my icon ordering around - is ther a particular use case for it? If it's just about wanting to control the order for aesthetic reasons, it doesn't seem worth the effort storing & respecting a setting (as well as space in the settings UI).
