Using Xcode 3.1.3 (or 2.5), I created a standard Carbon application

the Display System Preferences to move the menubar from one display
to another one. The document window for the Carbon application
followed the menubar and moved to the other display.
Doing the same thing, but this time with the default Cocoa
application, the document window does not automatically move.
I suspect this is done to Carbon apps to keep them from breaking,
since otherwise the window's global coordinates would change behind
its back. Back in the day (during OS X 10.0 development) there were a
lot of problems with having non-app code move Carbon windows, which is
one reason why they're not draggable while the app is busy.
So in short, this is a workaround, not a feature. I wouldn't expect an
app window to move to follow the menu bar. But maybe your app has some
special behavior that makes that behavior desirable? Your idea of the
NSApp delegate call seems like a good way to implement that.
