Re: calling gtk_menu_popup from a button's "clicked" signal

[Greg Breland <gbreland mozillanews org>]

This is the best suggestion I've ever heard as a replacement for the
horrible button menu hack.  Maybe this will keep the parent poster from
adding this hack to yet another piece of software.  

The only downside I could see is if the list is very long.  I think for
short lists, say <20 then the treelist vs the context menu works about
the same.  More than that and the context menu is better because of
scree real estate issues.  However after a certain point the treelist
would work better because long context lists are unusable.
