+	    The new <literal>System Status Area</literal> unifies many settings that had their own icon and menu in previous releases, such as wireless and other networking.  Not all potential features are displayed at all times; for example, the volume slider for a microphone does not appear when a microphone is not present, and WiFi options do not appear when a wireless device is not detected.
