Thanks for your answer. I can't do this :

        event_box = gtk_event_box_new();
        gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(tray_icon), event_box);


Because GtkStatusIcon is not a widget.
Here is some example code that shows my problem :

int button_press_event_callback(GtkWidget* widget, GdkEvent* event)
{
   GdkEventButton* event_button;

   if(event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS)
   {
       event_button = (GdkEventButton*)event;
       if(event_button->button == 3)
       {
           /* this menu behaves normally */
           gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(widget), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
               event_button->button, event_button->time);
           return TRUE;
       }
   }

   return FALSE;
}

void popup_callback(GtkStatusIcon* icon, guint button, guint activate_time,
gpointer data)
{
   /* this menu won't go away */
   gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(data), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, button,
activate_time);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   GtkWidget* window;
   GtkWidget* button;
   GtkStatusIcon* trayicon;
   GtkWidget* menu;
   GtkWidget* menuitem;

   gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

   window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
   button = gtk_button_new_with_label("button");
   gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button);

   trayicon = gtk_status_icon_new_from_file("some-nice-pic");

   menu = gtk_menu_new();
   menuitem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("hello");
   gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu), menuitem);
   gtk_widget_show(menuitem);

   g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(trayicon), "popup-menu",
G_CALLBACK(popup_callback), G_OBJECT(menu));
   g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(button), "button-press-event",
G_CALLBACK(button_press_event_callback), G_OBJECT(menu));

   gtk_widget_show_all(window);

   gtk_main();

   return 0;
}
