Re: Problems adding menu to panel applet

["Kevin Vandersloot" <kfv101 hotmail com>]

Ok, I see your problem now. It turns out that with buttons, the button press 
event gets swallowed by  the button, hence the popup menu doesn't show up. 
You need to add a hack to get this to work with buttons. Se for instance the 
cdplayer applet and look for the button_press_hack function. It will then 
work properly.

Kevin
