Dynamically changing title of 'Application Menu'

Hi

I am trying to dynamically set the title of my apps 'Application Menu' based on compile flags.

In my app delegates applicationDidFinishLaunching method I perform the following :

    NSMenuItem *item = [[NSApp mainMenu]itemAtIndex:0];
    [item setTitle:__CLIENT_NAME__];

Which has no effect. However if I change the code to address the 'File Menu' then the title is updated as expected.

NSMenuItem *item = [[NSApp mainMenu]itemAtIndex:1]; <-- changed index [item setTitle:__CLIENT_NAME__];

Further more if I call my original code at some arbitrary point (once the app has finished launching) the menu still fails to update.

How do I override this AppKit behavior?

Thanks

Nick
