I haven't looked at the sawmill code, so don't know what it does at the
moment.
Dia just uses the normal gtk_menu_popup() function to popup the menu (or
if GNOME support is enabled, gnome_popup_menu_do_popup() (which is pretty
much just a wrapper for gtk_menu_popup). The call should look something
like:
gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(popup_menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, button, time);
The first two NULLs say that the menu has no parent (they are usually only
used by gtk internally to position submenus). The second two NULLs say to
use gtk's default positioning algorithm, which is to pop the menu up at
the mouse position, or nearby so that the menu apears on the screen.
The last two arguments are which button was pressed, and the event time
for the press. If you are doing this in response to a button_press_event
signal, you can use the button and time members of the GdkEventButton
structure passed to the signal handler. These are equivalent to the
structure members of the same name in the XButtonEvent, if sawmill uses
xlib at that level. If you don't know the time of the event, it is
usually safe to pass 0.
