Thanks, that does tell me something. To some extent. I do get a popup with an image. But the image is completely misplaced. There is a huge margin on the left, even with NSImageOnly and NSPopUpNoArrow. In fact, the margin gets even bigger for smaller frame sizes. Nothing at all like a borderless button, which is what I would expect. I see now that with my own code and image the image falls outside the frame. I think that's wrong.

That said, I must stress that I am 100% confident that a while back setting the image in code did not work at all, in a different instance where I know the problem was not that it was shown outside the frame, because that same code is working now and setting in IB did work then. The fact that I tried then for so many hours was a reason that I was not trying very hard this time, because I assumed this was the same problem.

The conclusion seems to be that I still need to use a subclass.
