Sick. Sick, evil, and oh so effective. Here's a refinement that
makes the popup menu look normal (although obviously there's still a
lot of hard-coding in there, and standard menus don't use the same
font size for the menu as they do for display, for some inexplicable
reason).

NSArray *itemArray = [popup itemArray];
int i;
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
[NSFont systemFontOfSize: [NSFont systemFontSize]],
NSFontAttributeName, nil];

for (i = 0; i < [itemArray count]; i++) {
NSMenuItem *item = [itemArray objectAtIndex:i];

NSAttributedString *as =
[[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithString:[item title]
attributes:attributes];

NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: NSMakeSize(90,14)];

[image lockFocus];
[as drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(2,-2)];
[image unlockFocus];

[item setImage:image];
[item setTitle:@""];
[item setTag:i];
[image release];
}
