I’m writing an agent (so no dock icon or menu bar) based around a status item. The Main Menu never gets displayed. Can I remove it without problems?

If the user could want to use any keyboard shortcuts while interacting with your status item, then you’ll want to keep the main menu around. Even when it’s not visible, an app’s main menu is the provider of keyboard shortcuts like Copy and Paste.
