Why do you need to open a window, why not just use a regular menu with 
a custom view? One obvious answer to that question might be that you 
need to support versions of Mac OS X prior to Leopard - Is that the 
case?

On 10.4 and later you can probably use the CGEventTap API to find the 
information that you're looking for.
