I can't reproduce this on Fedora's 6.5 or on master - long-press on the system tray widget opens the context menu in either.

I can sort of reproduce this on standalone clipboard widgets; they don't open the context menu (like other standalone widgets, context menu on long-press is a system tray feature). It does open the popup when you let go though, i.e. it registers long-click as a click.
