I have some GTK+ forum started which is slow starting but just about any 
basic question will get answered...
http://www.gtkforums.com

I have links to numerous GTK+ resources here:
http://www.micahcarrick.com/v2/component/option,com_weblinks/catid,6/Itemid,29/

I have my own GTK+/Glade/Gnome tutorials here:
http://www.micahcarrick.com/v2/content/category/1/17/20/

GTK+ (and some other libraries) API documentation here:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/

Specifically how to add a popup menu from the GTK+ FAQ:
http://www.mhatt.aps.anl.gov/dohn/programming/gtk-2.0/gtk-faq/x670.html

The gtk_menu_popup() function in the GTK+ API Docs:
