Have you called NSApplicationLoad before setting up your menus?

Is there anything that [NSApp run] does to initialize menus? In a program,
I'm generating menu's like so:


NSMenu *file = [[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle: @"File"];
[menu setSubmenu: file forItem: [menu itemWithTitle: @"File"]];

and using [NSApp setMainMenu: menu] to make it the application menu.

If I don't call [NSApp run] the menu's do not show up other than the apple
menu and the menu with the application name. If I do call [NSApp run], they
work perfectly. My application employs it's own event loop because it needs
to retain program control (ie it doesn't wait for user input or some event
to do something - it needs to do constant processing).


Of course I could call [NSApp run], and make a custom event that breaks out
of the loop then put my event loop to work, but that feels like a bit of a
hack just to display some menus - everything else runs fine without ever
calling [NSApp run].


Thanks,
