I did something like this.

gtk_tree_view_column_set_widget(column, label);
gtk_widget_show(label_artist);
GtkWidget *col_button = gtk_widget_get_ancestor(label, GTK_TYPE_BUTTON);
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(GTK_WIDGET(col_button)), "button-press-event",
                          G_CALLBACK(header_right_click_cb), cwin);

In the handler, you can check for button 3 and popup a menu.
But this might break if the internal implementation of GtkTreeView header changes.
It works for now.
