Hi, I was recently making context menus with GTK. The matter seems unusually complicated. One must manually piece together various signals simply to trigger the menu, including a handler for the right mouse button being pressed. (I'm used to GTK abstracting that to stuff like "activated"). I guess there's one good thing I can say about it: this has clearly encouraged user interface design where the things are avoided and their values seriously investigated each time. However, I hope that isn't the only reason! So, rather than continue yelling at my IDE, I feel it would relieve some suffering if I just asked: why is this? Why aren't context menus more like tooltips, for example, where you just say gtk_widget_set_tooltip_window (or text) and it's done? It's not that I'm angry. I'm just curious, because I want to feel like this extra fiddling is worth something. Otherwise, am I missing something obvious that makes this really easy? Is this a spot that actually does need help? Thanks, Dylan McCall
