Are you saying that if I map the left mouse button to be the right one and click on it, I will not get that signal? As far as the user code is concerned, the button I press to get the context menu shouldn't matter, because this a low-level signal. All the user code should be aware is - did I click the action button or context menu one. Why do I need to care which is which? Could you give me a scenario? Thank you. > _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
