is there something like this but for menubar items?
Comment and replies on Logitech Control Center:
Don't bother installing. It installs Application Enhancer and will lead to slow startups, instability, and kernel panics.
Use USB Overdrive X or SteerMouse. For keyboards, try out ControllerMate. Or you can put up with the lack of ability to press your "iTunes" button and install nothing.
Exactly: lcc will become a pain if you install it (crashes, kernel panics, hangs, slow startup). Logitech is not taking Mac users seriously with this software. Skip Logitech products until they deliver appropiate drivers for us.
The last version of this app was horrible and absolutely didn't work with my brand new S530 Mac keyboard/mouse. It completely disabled everything. I had to revert to the version that originally came with my keyboard/mouse.
If any of you have the nerve to give this one a go - let me know. Otherwise, I don't see a reason to upgrade at all.
Number one solution, as mentioned before, is USB Overdrive for any kind of need to program your mice, trackballs and whatnot devices. Tried and tested, never, ever, fails.
I have a Logitech Trackball (2 Buttons and a scroll wheel).
I don't have LCC. And I don't miss it.
Ugh, I was having all sorts of system instability issues, and it turned out to be a combination of this and the Application Enhancer it installs. Instead, I opted to buy SteerMouse (USB Overdrive is also ok), and no more problems with my system! Awaiting the day when Logitech will fix their buggy Mac software, or at least acknowledge their Mac software sucks.
They finally updated it for Leopard - version 2.4
One day down with no weirdness from it.
The latest version conflicts with my Open Vanilla input method, so I get rid of this Control Center, and I go straight to "ControllerMate". And it's way better than this Logitech driver.
I had been using LCC for a couple of years since I got my iBook. It worked without problems for a while. Then It started adding multiple mice and keyboards when I unplugged and then plugged the keyboard/mouse. This required a restart. The tracking on the screen became very choppy for no particular reason. Then, for no reason that I truly understand, when I would disconnect the USB receiver, I would be presented that dreaded Kernel Panic. That was the end of that.
I immediately went for ControllerMate. I was able to customize all of my LX500's special keys. I have had no problems with it after a week of use.
And no more kernel panic errors or application enhancer.
If you were wondering why Growl just stopped working just remove this POS from your system. I am not sure this was causing the weird hangs I had sometimes since I installed Leopard but definitely removing it made Growl work again.
Trashed it when it discovered it hindered the functionality of my favourite app: TextMate.
I hear it also causes an endless list of other serious problems kernel panics etc.
Avoid whenever possible.
More people should send angry emails to the developers - just like I did.
Seems like the newest version (2.6) is working much better than previous versions. I have tried everything out there, and this is the only app that gives me the kind of scrolling I've come to expect with MX/VX mice.
With the old version (2.4) I've had some problems with different applications. Now the 2.6 is more stable and I have no problems anymore.

Scrap that thought, it was stupid of me - I was making a duplicate mount point :P

Just a note to everyone ...
If you have problems with write access using FTP or SSH, please try adding
"-odefer_auth" in the advanced options, without the quotes. This has fixed many issues with FTP and SSH.
V. 1.2 Beta 3 hangs my system when I try to mount an ftp location. I then have to restart Mac OS by keeping the reset button down.
It did this twice on two different locations, accessed via the 'favorites' menu.
I don't have the time to investigate more, sorry. :)
Is this still being maintained? MacFuse is currently 1.5.1 and the latest MacFusion is for use with MacFuse core 1.1 . . .

You can just set the LSUIElement key to 1 in the Info.plist of said program. That said, I guess this is there for the less technically inclined.
