Hmm. You could fake it by putting  a transparent field on top of a button
with a label of a single space (so it's got no visible label) and group
them for ease of movement. You'd have to do a wee bit of scripting to make
sure the button size accommodates the text as it changes size/font, but
that should be easy for you....
