Yes, that's a good class. I'd actually talked this over with Matt before posting here and we concluded it's too much work (in the short term) to emulate all the little NSMenu details... icons, scrolling, submenus, and whatnot.

It would have been nice, as I'm about to publish a little app that brings Tiger-style nested folder popups back to the Dock. But I guess for now users will have bear the lack of the little triangle. ;-)
