Okay, tried, and doesn't work.
If i set  gtk_event_box_set_above_child () true I get the contextmenu,
but the buttons don't get the button_press anymore.
If it's false, the buttons get the press event, but not the eventbox.
Any hints, while I try to find the solution myself of course.
Probably easy.
