I asked a question similar to this a few months back about a background
app that needed some GUI functionality. I think I asked about setting
up AutoreleasePools or something similar.

My solution has been to create a Cocoa application with a small,
title-less, invisible window which is hidden and destroyed immediately.
Then, I place my statusitem up on the bar and run the menu off of that.

As for the dock window, there are some plist settings you need to set to
tell the system to not show a dock item for the application.

I think it's NSUIElement, which you need to set to 1.
