For (a), you can call notebook.popup_disable() when you create the notebook,
as long as you don't need the default popup menu that the notebook creates.
For an easy way to create popup menus, and figuring out which tab a click
comes from, put your tab labels into event boxes:
tab_label_box = gtk.EventBox()
tab_label = gtk.Label("Some label here")
tab_label_box.add(tab_label)
tab_label_box.connect('event', on_tab_click)
notebook.append_page(your_page_widget, tab_label_box)
def on_tab_click(self, widget, event, child):
if event.type == gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS:
n = notebook.page_num(child)
# this will automagically switch to whatever page you click on
notebook.set_current_page(n)
if event.button == 3:
menu = create_a_menu() # I still use the ItemFactory
menu.popup(None, None, None, event.button, event.time)
