Not to mention that the menu occupies an extremely small amount of
screen real estate...

While not technically supported, you can use anything in the AppKit after
calling NSApplicationLoad() once.
Sure, but unless you really know what you're doing and have a very
good reason for doing it, this approach for a "GUI-less app with a
window" is just plain silly. If you want a Cocoa "program" (avoiding
use of the word "application" to avoid confusion with an NSApplication
instance) with a window in the GUI, just create a normal Cocoa
application and be done with it.
Maybe the OP can give a more thorough description of what he's
trying to accomplish and why he wants a window but no other GUI
elements. It raises some pretty important questions: How will the user
control this disembodied window floating on his/her desktop? Why have
a window if you're making your user launch (and quit) the "program"
from the command line?
Sorry to harp on this, but it just seems like a very, very wrong way
of approaching Mac OS X application design.
