I'm making a preferences pane that uses an NSStatusBar. It works fine except
that when I quit the system preferences application my NSStatusBar doesn't
get displayed anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?

NSStatusItems (the NSStatusBar is displayed by the system) must be published by a running application. If you create one from a preference pane, it is being handled by the System Preferences application, of course, and will obviously be removed when the application quits.

You can get around this by writing a background application (be careful to read QA1081 at http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1081.html).
