Ah, right. Try "button_press_event" instead of "event" - I believe
button_press_event handlers get to run first.

Then override the default behavior by using
gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name() to block further signal handlers. (In
GTK 2 you can also stop further handlers by simply returning TRUE. 
And of course in nearly all cases handler-blocking is a shortcut to
avoid subclassing the widget, which would be more elegant in some
theoretical sense.)

Actually in GTK 2 the c/c/p menu is there on the entry by default, so 
I guess the fact that this is easier to implement in GTK 2 isn't
interesting. ;-)
