+ *     This subclass does 4 things to approximate NSMenuExtra's functionality:
+ *
+ *  1. Makes the status item smarter about highlighting.
+ *  2. Allows you to set an alternate (inverted) image.
+ *  3. Eliminates the pre-Jaguar shadow behind a normal status item.
+ *  4. If you use an image AND title, the text will be made slightly smaller
+ *     to resemble the visual interface of an NSMenuExtra.
+ *
+ *  Note:  In order to have the shadow not overlap the bottom of the
+ *  menubar, Apple moves the image up one pixel.  Since that shadow is
+ *  no longer drawn, please adjust your images DOWN one pixel to compensate.
