What you want is a status item, not a menu extra. They are two
separate things. Menu Extras are actually subviews of one large
status item the SystemUIServer owns.
You'd make to make a separate background application that *only*
shows the Status Item. Then have your main application sublaunch that
app when it launches. Timbuktu does this AFAICT, as do a few other
applications. So you can still launch the application and control
some basic functions without having the application that is in the
dock running.

I want a menu extra (one of those cute little menus that reside in the menu
bar on the far right) for my app. I don't want it to be a .menu but a .app
that will appear in the dock, like a regular app, but can then be switched
to just a menu extra, so it's no longer in the dock but just in the menu
bar.
