Word wrapping NSAttributedString in NSMenuItem

Apple added the ability for an NSMenuItem to have a NSAttributedString
for its title (instead of just a NSString) with 10.3.

I have programmatically created a NSMenuItem and passed a very long
string to setAttributedTitle.  Although I have told the
NSAttributedString to use word wrapping, the text is truncated; it
runs off the end of the NSMenuItem.  Since Apple has deprecated
NSMenuItemCell, I think (and am afraid) that I might have to dive into
Carbon to find a solution.  I thought I'd post here to see if anyone
had any ideas.

Here's my code:

NSMutableParagraphStyle *style = [[NSParagraphStyle
defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
[style setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
[style setAlignment:NSLeftTextAlignment];

NSMutableAttributedString *attributedTitle =
[[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString: reallyLongTitle
attributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
style,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,nil]];
           
NSMenuItem *menuItem = [[NSMenuItem alloc]
initWithTitle:reallyLongTitle action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""];
[menuItem setAttributedTitle:attributedTitle];
[theMenu addItem: menuItem];

[menuItem release];
[attributedTitle release];

Thanks in advance,
Joe
