gtk+ popup menu displacement

[Michael Webster]

Hello,

I received notification for this patch in Gnome GTK+:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=a5d5106fcff1092bc2696ea031b67baeb048c546

This fixes an important regression with regards to how popup menu
positioning works - up through Gtk 3.6 one was able to slightly shift the
popup menu out from under the mouse pointer by a couple pixels in the
theme.  This prevented immediate selection and activation (via
button-release) of the first context menu item.

For 3.8 it was effectively broken by
this<https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/gtk/gtkmenu.c?id=01dc23cdec377c9d9897cc32bf28ec1d241b29fa>
patch,
but this new commit should finally fix things.  It is a fairly isolated bit
of code so would be a trivial change here for Trusty.

I am hoping there is still an opportunity to add this, or are we too far in
the release cycle to do it at this stage?  I would be more than happy to
prepare the patch and merge request for this.

Thanks!
