change the signal connect code to the following and everything works
fine. have a look at
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkMenu.html#gtk-menu-popup
to see what the change was inspired by. essentially you needed to pass
$event->button, and $event->time into the menu popup. doc there does
mention that several of the parameters are normally NULL/undef, but
button and time apparently shouldn't be.

$button->signal_connect('event', sub { 
        shift;
        my $event = shift;
        return 0 unless( ref $event eq 'Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Button' );
        $menu->popup(undef, undef, undef, undef, 
                $event->button, $event->time);
        1;
});

have a look at the tutorial for item factory for a much more complicated
example that does exactly the same thing when it comes time to popup the
menu.
