For a different menu on each row, look at gnome-utils/mini-utils/gw for an
example. For a very simple example look at gnome-utils/mini-utils/guname.

The basic answer is to connect to button_press_event; your callback should
take a GdkEventButton arg; in GdkEventButton you can get which button was
pressed and the coordinates. CList has a coordinates->row conversion
function if you care which row the pointer was over.
