Why are you setting the menu twice? This step might be redundant.
[statusItem setEnabled:YES];
This line is redundant and can probably be taken out.
// build NSMenu by HAND NSMenu *menu = [[[NSMenu alloc] initWithTitle:@"abc"] autorelease]; if (menu != NULL)
You don't have to worry about this. There are a few classes that may return nil (not NULL) if initialization fails, such as NSPipe. NSMenu is not one of these classes, and most likely never will be.
[item autorelease];
Here you're autoreleasing an object you did not initialize or copy or retain, which will cause trouble if you're not using GC.
// *** DOING this causes the menu to NOT pop down *** [menu setDeligate:menuController];
Is that a typo? That should be -setDelegate:. If it isn't, then that should be raising a compiler warning, in which case, do you have warnings turned off?
