Hey,
I tried several solutions on different Macs now and it seems to be a problem of Tiger 10.4.11, because on Leopard it works fine without any problems, but in Tiger I always get the same (wrong) results ...

For me it's working flawlessly. I can't expose the complete code but I did something like the following

@interface StatusView : NSView {

	NSStatusItem *statusItem;			//!< The Status Area within the Menu-Bar
}
- (id)initWithStatusItem:(NSStatusItem*)statusBarItem;

@end

@implementation StatusView

- (id)initWithStatusItem:(NSStatusItem*)statusBarItem
{
self = [super initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0.0, 2.0, [statusBarItem length], [[statusBarItem statusBar] thickness])];

if(self != nil) {
statusItem = statusBarItem;
[self setWantsLayer:YES];
[statusItem setView:self];
}
return self;
}


@end

In some other Class the View and the Status Item are created:

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
NSStatusBar *systemStatusBar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];
statusItem = [systemStatusBar statusItemWithLength:[userDefaults integerForKey:kPWPreferenceSize]];
[statusView initWithStatusItem:statusItem];
}



I get the position on screen with the following:

NSRect rect = [[self.statusView window] frame];

The position is returned in absolute Screen coordinates. I really don't see your problem ;-(

BTW: I'm using Garbage-Collection so you won't see any retain/ release or autorelease.

regards
Joachim
