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
