Well, okay, fine. But now you are moving the goalposts. Your original

I answered that question: Apple does (the MenuMadness example), I do (the
above), and now you do. There may be a lower limit to how small an
NSPopUpButton can be and still have an image, but that is a different
matter.

I can't confirm that, since, like most users who use Snow Leopard, I am
using 10.6.2. m.
