Strange on my box (fedora core 4) is doesn't stay poped up so if I
release mouse button 3 it disappears.  Perhaps it is a platorm issue?
my popup code is below:-


class PopupMenu:
     def __init__(self, parent):
         self.parent = parent
         self.menu=Menu(None,tearoff=0)

     def __call__(self, event):
         self.menu.tk_popup(event.x_root ,event.y_root)

     def add_separator(self):
         self.menu.add_separator()

     def add(self, text, command):
         self.menu.add_command(label=text, command=command)
     add_command = add




and when I use it :-


         fileMenu = PopupMenu(self)
         fileMenu.add_command("Create New File", command=self.createFile)
         self.fileList.body_bind("<3>", fileMenu)
