Excuse my ignorance, but even if it isn't cross-process, is this even
currently possible with gtk?

I have an applet that is pretty much just a GtkEntry, but I couldn't
figure out how to get my GtkEntry's right-click menu (which includes
Copy, Paste, Input Method wizardry) to also contain the standard panel
applet items (Move, Lock, Remove from Panel), not to mention my own menu
items (About, Preferences).  My workaround is to also have a GtkButton
(which normally does nothing on right-click) in the Applet.
