You cant,
     usualy you would use "button-press-event" for that.

I suppose generating the arguments for gtk_menu_popup() is no big deal
but why would you want to use a GtkButton to create a context menu ?

Note that "You can't" is an overstatement, you probably /could/ get
ahold of the "button-release-event" emmission which is being handled
by GtkButtonClass (hence the emmission of "clicked") but that would
just be an API abuse :)
