[Bug 399271] [NEW] right-click menus open on mouseup instead of mousedown

[Conrad]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gmpc

Ubuntu 9.04
Package version: 0.17.0-2 (gmpc 0.17.0 Revision: 53c38e7)

Using the right mouse button to bring up a context menu doesn't work as
expected for most gmpc controls.

Expected behavior: The menu should open upon pressing the mouse button
and select an item upon releasing the mouse button on it, i.e., one
continuous click. Alternatively, the menu should open on a single right-
click (press and immediate release), too, and thus allow for selection
with another discrete click. Examples for this correct behavior are menu
bars everywhere in GNOME, text controls in gmpc and the big gmpc icon in
the top-left corner of the gmpc window.

What happens instead: In gmpc's tree and list controls, pressing and
holding the mouse button does nothing. The context menu is displayed
only after releasing the mouse button. This is especially irritating in
the Playlist Editor as one has to 1) left-click to select a playlist, 2)
right-click to open the menu, and finally 3) click another time to
select the desired menu item.
