SystemUIServer takes care of all those things, and I don't think it
will be very happy for long if you start replacing them.  I've noticed
that the first sign that one of our client machines will not survive a
logout is if the clock and spotlight icon are missing from the
menubar; at that point, the system must be forcibly shut down at
logout, or else it will sit  at the spinning flower petal indicator.
Just a sign of the interdependency between the window server and the
menu extras.
