I know what you mean … I had to implement this in the past, and it was 
a real pain (well, actually it was a real pain for the original 
implementor of the NSTableView subclass I swiped. But that source 
code's not public.)

I seem to recall that in 10.5 there is new API, either in NSTableView 
or NSActionCell, that makes this easy to do; but I just looked through 
both headers and can't find it. Does anyone else remember?
