For the past month or so I've had a duplicate menu bar, and I can't seem to figure out why. Each item works just fine, but I've got two of everything. Does anyone have any idea where I ought to look to resolve this?
Thanks!

Seems like all the menu extras have been duplicated. Interesting - check the the Menu Extras folder both in /System/Library, /Library and ~/Library to see if any files exist in more than one folder.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

That may not explain why they appear in two sets, instead of each item duplicated in filename order. I'd suspect two running instances of the menu extras daemon. Which I'm not thinking of the name for.
Try opening Activity Monitor and sort by process name. Look for duplicates. It would be under your user, so you can limit processes to your own.

SystemUIServer, isn't it?

Force-quitting SystemUIServer did indeed cause my menu extras to vanish, then reload when SystemUIServer restarted.

It actually seems I have a double set of SystemUIServer running on this user (only one copy for another user). Good thought! Any idea how that might happen? Of course the better question is "how do I get only one to load?" Quitting one of the instances causes it to re-load, while quitting the other makes it dissapear until restart/login. Hmm...
