[gtk3] right-click context menu for links no longer works

[Jeremy Bícha]

In the Natty update-manager, right clicking on a link in the changelog would give the option to open in browser or copy link to clipboard. With the port to gtk3, this content menu no longer shows up.

See the code at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main/view/head:/UpdateManager/ChangelogViewer.py#L63

I came across this same issue in an app I ported from gtk2 to gtk3 so this might actually be a gtk issue, or at least the behavior has changed from gtk2.

When right-clicking on a link, I get the following traceback in Terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/Projects/umtrunk/UpdateManager/ChangelogViewer.py", line 207, in button_press_event
