Pretty easy:

- add an entry to your Info.plist:  "LSUIElement" => true (this is the "Application is agent" entry)

It's not necessary to delete the menu from MainMenu.xib, because I believe that's only used when your app lives in the Dock.  Leaving it in allows your app to still respond to things like cmd-Q when its in the foreground.
