This may be by design, but i think we should always keep the weave menu item visible, despite having the prefs modal dialog window open.  This is because its easy to send the modal dialog into the background, and forget about it if you have your window maximized.

Repro:
1) install weave sync 0.8
2) open prefs window > services
3) goto Tools menu
4) verify the Weave options is hidden
5) close prefs window.  weave options appears again

Expected:
- keep the weave options in menu always visible, and sync up the status of connected/disconnected to whatever the prefs window shows.
Oh, this isn't what you think it is.  We just don't overlay non-browser windows on Mac.  Trivial to fix though.  (this may or may not be a dupe, I know I noticed this before).   The weave menu isn't in any non-browser windows on Mac...
