NSStatusItem vs NSMenuExtra?

Hello,

I would like to add a little something to the status bar... but I'm not quiet sure what is the most "reasonable" way to go about about it...

NSMenuExtra provides a bunch of additional functionalities... but it's supposedly private... and you need to kick the system where it hearts to load your own menu extra bundle... much pain...

On the other hand, NSStatusBar works out-of-the-box, but is very limited and requires the existence of an application to load itself in the status bar in the first place... much pain...

What's the consensus "on the street" on this painful matter? Hack + NSMenuExtra + NSBundle? Or Dummy + NSStatusBar + NSApplication?

Thanks.

Cheers,

PA.
