The API cannot change, by definition :)

Both are public.  Really well-behaved widgets should implement them.  I
don't know if any of the GNOME user documentation mentions the default
Ctrl-F1 and Shift-F1 bindings for "tooltip" and "what's this",
respectively; I don't know of any widget that implements that signal,
either.

popup_menu is documented here: 
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-migrating-checklist.html#checklist-popup-menu
and some hot keybinding pr0n:
