i've noticed in some menu bar apps like Google's GMail Notifier, the
time since last email check will display when changed while the menu
is open. how can i emulate this behavior in my own NSMenuItem that
changes every 30 seconds (it shows a timer)?  currently it will change
the setTitle of the NSMenuItem, but will only display it's update the
next time the user opens the menu.

You'll probably have to use a custom view for that item. Look at the PhotoSearch example code for how to add custom views to a menu.
