Hey,
your methods are more or less the same what I already tried. And they 
lead to the same result... no screen coordinates. Maybe Apple changed 
something in the NSStatusItem's window?!
It is really weird, because there are some solutions out there that 
seem to have worked, but do not work for me :-(
