Re: Button 3 and clicked signal...

use the 'button_press_event' or 'button_release_event'?

"button-press-event"
	    gboolean user_function	(GtkWidget *widget,
					    GdkEventButton *event,
					    gpointer user_data);
"button-release-event"
	    gboolean user_function	(GtkWidget *widget,
					    GdkEventButton *event,
					    gpointer user_data);

then just use event->type, which will be GDK_BUTTON_PRESS | GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS |
GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS | GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE

then you can just do whatever is appropriate for which ever button was pressed
