Why do you have to make a hidden button and force the popup display in a 
mousedown handler? A regular popup should work just fine. What problems 
are you having with it?

When I make a normal popup button, the button doesn't 'appear' as a 
button (except that the name is visible by default) so I don't understand 
what the user is seeing. But the things you can do to make sure a button 
won't be seen (but is still "visible") are to set the following 
properties:

showborder=false
threeD=false
opaque=false
showName=false
showfocusBorder=false
autohilite=false

I made a button like this under Windows (I didn't test in as a 
standalone) and the popup shows up (I set menuMouseButton to 0 or 3--both 
worked) without the button being "visible".

See if this helps. If I'm completely missing your point, try to provide a 
little more detail as to what the problem is.
