i have a NSMenu that i use as both a right-click menu and the dock

right-click menu, but they do not show up in the dock menu.
i've connected the the File's Owner dockMenu to the NSMenu in IB so to
add the menu to the app's dock menu. i've searched for an answer in
the archives, but it seems that this has been a "known issue" since
2003?
The short answer is that the dock doesn't actually display the menu
you hand it. It's just a convenient device for specifying your own
menu content and then conveying it to the other process. The down-side
is that we lose some functionality. You've noticed the lack of images.
Another loss is that building menus on the fly is impractical. It
tries to resolve the whole structure up-front instead of as-needed
(because, presumably, that *is* when it's needed) and if it takes too
long it'll time out.
