> Where do you add it to the main menu?
I'm trying to use NSApplication's setAppleMenu --- the application menu isn't
visible as part of the main menu (the call is at the end of my routine, below).
Note that I do a setMainMenu later in my startup sequence. My understanding is
that OSX has it's own private NSMenu for the application and system menus, and
combines the mainmenu supplied with those private submenus. So it seems to be a
battle to get at the semi-private menus, which is a bit maddening.
