I think all the info is in the tutorial, just not all in one place.
It depends on what event you hook onto, but the following should give
you an idea:


    if (event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS) {
             GdkEventButton *bevent = (GdkEventButton *) event;
             if (bevent->button == 3)
                 gtk_menu_popup (GTK_MENU(widget), NULL, NULL, NULL,
                             NULL, bevent->button, bevent->time);
             /* Tell calling code that we have handled this event;
              *  the buck
              * stops here. */
             return TRUE;
         }
