The context menu main loop is supposed to be "endless" as far as GLib is
concerned.  Looking at terminal_widget_context_menu(), the loop is
supposed to end when the menu is closed (the "deactivate" signal is
emitted).

Under normal circumstances, the user should be able to close the menu
with the keyboard or mouse.  But at least in my case the menu was never
created, so I couldn't close it.
