gtk_menu_popup is grabbing the mouse pointer and keyboard; that's why
it is "stealing" all the events. Since gtk+ 2.7, there's a property to
disable grabbing of keyboard, but it still grabs the pointer:

Allow to pop up menus without grabbing the keyboard. Useful for
stuff like virtual keyboards. Fixes bug #159890
* gtk/gtk.symbols
* gtk/gtkmenushell.[ch]: added boolean property "take-focus"
and public API gtk_menu_shell_set/get_take_focus().
* gtk/gtkmenu.c (gtk_menu_popup)
(popup_grab_on_window): don't grab the keyboard if take_focus
is FALSE.
* gtk/gtkmenuitem.c (_gtk_menu_item_popup_submen): propagate the
parent menu_shell's take_focus property to the submenu which is
about to be popped up.
You might need to persuade developers to add an option to not grab
mouse. _Although_ I have a feeling that putting buttons in a menu might
not be the best GUI design in the world. But maybe it's just me :)
