If you're willing to venture into undocumented goodness, you might 
want to have a look at this little category I wrote for a menu bar 
calendar that was supposed to appear right below its NSStatusItem 
years ago:

//--

@implementation NSStatusItem (PMForbiddenFruit)

   - (NSWindow*)window {
       if ([self respondsToSelector: @selector(_window)]) {
           return [self performSelector: @selector(_window)];
       }
       return nil;
   }

   - (NSRect)frameInScreenCoordinates {
       NSWindow *theWindow = [self window];
       if (theWindow) {
           return [theWindow frame];
       }
       return NSZeroRect;    // you better have a fallback strategy
   }

@end

//--
