[pygtk] passing data to actions invoked by popup

[Nikos Kouremenos]

menu.popup() normally accepts additonal data. but PyGTK devs wrapped
it bad so in PyGTK world it doesn't. I have reported this in BT.

your ugly solution is what I also do. well not global but class
variable which is the same 'bad'
