Given a style like Baghira one has this already, e.g.
http://baghira.sourceforge.net/pix/ssp/shot10.jpg

But I guess it is achieved by cheating, perhaps the style has a look whether 
there is another button or a separator/nothing next to the current button 
(climbing the object hierarchy), did not check.

No idea about the need for such a multiactionbutton.
