Why do you put user_selected() in the user data slot of popup()?  It
would only be used if you provided a positioning callback.

That's because you connected to button-press-event.  Those kind of popup
menus only stay up if you don't release the mouse button.  If you want
the more traditional behavior, connect to button-release-event.

Well, either use $event->time or Gtk2->get_current_event_time.
