        * configure.in: Set version number to 0.5.99.5

        * gal/e-text/e-entry.c (e_entry_class_init): Add a "popup" signal.
        If you have trepidations about this, see the technical argument
        below.
        (e_entry_init): Connect to the EText's popup signal.
        (e_entry_proxy_popup): Proxy emitter for popup signals from the
        EText.

        * gal/e-text/e-text.c (e_text_class_init): Added a "popup" signal.
        (e_text_event): Emit the "popup" signal on right-clicks.  Now you
        could ask yourself: "should there be a signal named 'popup' in
        EText that gets emitted on right-clicks?"  And this is a
        reasonable question, since... well, this has a funny feeling to
        it.  But the whole point of GNOME, or at least one of the original
        points of GNOME, was to impose policy in a reasonable way when it
        made sense in order to simplify the user's experience.  Convention
        dictates that popup menus are tied to right-clicks --- so rather
        than setting up some elaborate forwarding of button-press signals,
        why not just impose a little policy and set up a signal that is
        closely tied to a familiar set of semantics?  Maybe it isn't the
        best thing to do from a aesthetics-of-the-API point of view, but I
        doubt anyone could condemn it as being anything more than mostly
        harmless.
