How to identify application of hung menu bar icon
Use the Accessibility Inspector, accessible from Xcode → Open Developer Tool → Accessibility Inspector.

Click "Show" on the "Hierarchy" sub-section (which will show you the Application Name).

Click on the "Target Icon" at the top of the Inspector (Labeled: Start inspection follows point).

Hover over the item and the pane may show you enough information for you to determine what it is. For example, hovering the Dropbox menu bar item shows "Dropbox &lt;version>" under AXHelp, and hovering Little Snitch shows "Little Snitch Agent" under AXTitle.
