Is there any other way to do this aside from what I'm doing right now? As far 
as I know, I have two choices:

a) Use this method and risk something breaking
b) Write an NSToolbar clone

I know the risks, but if I could get this to pass through Mac App Store 
submission then I'd rather deal with possibility of something breaking later on 
that than to rewrite NSToolbar. The one last thing I can think of is to use the 
ObjC runtime to retain the original implementation, swizzle hitTest: and check 
whether my view is under the cursor, and if not, just call the original 
implementation. However, method swizzling always feels like a dirty workaround 
so I'm not sure if it would be much better than this (and if it would be 
acceptable in the MAS).
