Not me, and I've tried. I got it working in Panther, but the Tiger version
is much more complex and doesn't seem to respond to GUI Scripting.

I believe it's a pretty ugly hack, implemented in such a way that it
responds to commands that are listed in a folder in one of the system
library folders -- I forget where. In Panther, you could turn the popup menu
back into a simple button by removing items from the folder; I haven't tried
that in Tiger. Clever tricks like this are often implemented without regard
to accessibility.
