Ah, I sort of missed that one.

But weird that someone writing to stdout, fools the process, no?!?

Yeah, sadly popUpContextMenu:withEvent:forView: is really all we have  
in Cocoa, for opening a pop-up menu, but that one is a “real” context  
menu, which has context menu plug-ins show in the menu.

An alternative is either using an NSPopUpButtonCell or so, but I ran  
into problems with that approach (it is sort of hacky, because you’d  
use a cell without a view, or a view outside a view hierarchy), so I  
use the Carbon Menu Manager for custom pop-ups, there is some code  
for this in the Dialog plug-in (if you wish to switch the current  
code, or I could do it ;) ) -- the only tricky part with Menu Manager  
is, that it uses global coordinates relative to the main screen,  
where I found, by experimentation, that the main screen is the one  
with its origin in (0, 0), not feeling overly confident though, that  
this is really how it is defined. But [NSMenu mainScreen] was not  
(always) the right one…
