There is an example of how to do this in the glviewer.rb example program 
that is distributed with FXRuby. Look at the code inside the 
onQueryMenu() method for that example program as a model for what to do 
in your application. Note that I usually like to tie this to the 
SEL_RIGHTBUTTONRELEASE event (as opposed to the SEL_LEFTBUTTONPRESS event).

A menu pane (which is of course a subclass of FXPopup).

The canvas window.
