Well from what I've read, NSStatusItem is the way to go. I got the
impression that NSMenuExtra might even vanish at some point in the

Fair enough... one major drawback of NSStatusItem (except that you
cannot move it around) is that it requires a running application to set
it up... which is a bummer as I don't have any application... on the
other hand, NSMenuExtra is a simple NSBundle which you load in
SystemUIPlugin... which works much better in my situation... but...
NSMenuExtra introduces its own set of headaches... not officially
supported... requires a menu cracker... sigh... this all sounds like a
lose-lose situation no matter how a look at it...
Cheers,
PA.
