I just confirmed that mouse-1 pops up the menus fine on a lucid toolkit
build.  So this looks like a bug in the GTK code.

So sorry for the noise; I guess the thing to do is to fix the GTK code.
It appears that the GTK menu is popped down as soon as the mouse-up
event is sent to Emacs.  I'm not sure why this is happening, tho.
