Title:
  Variety menu shows up in left corner, instead of under the icon

Bug description:
  Every time I click the Variety icon in the Mate panel, it shows the
  menu in the far left corner. It's been this way for several weeks now.
  I think it may have something to do with gtk 3.20. I'm using
  ArchLinux, and this behavior started about the time gtk 3.20 got
  pushed out.

  This error shows up when running Variety in verbose log mode and clicking the icon:
  TypeError: pos() takes exactly 2 arguments (4 given)

  I also attached the log.

  ArchLinux (x64, rolling), Linux desktop 4.6.3-1-ck
  Variety 6.0
  gtk 3.20
  mate 1.12

  [Impact]

  With newer versions of GTK+ / python-gi, some menus in Variety are
  showing up in the top left corner of the screen, instead of where the
  mouse clicks. Although this has no immediate impact on the menus'
  functionality, this bug is very noticeable when triggered and has been
  reported numerous times.

  [Test Case]

  A fair bit of menus are affected by this bug, including:

   * The menu that opens when clicking the "Add" button in Variety
  Preferences->General

   * The menu when right clicking a picture in the Wallpaper Selector

   * Some reporters have stated that this affects the menu that pops up
  from the Variety tray icon, but I haven't been able to reproduce this.

  [Regression Potential]

  I think the regression potential here is low, but any potential syntax
  errors or variable typos could break menus or cause the program to not
  start at all.

  Upstream suggests testing the following in particular:
  - Add and Remove buttons in Preferences should popup the menu exactly below the pressed button (like a dropdown).
  - Thumbs window's right-click menu should popup at mouse position (e.g. History, Wallpaper Selector)
  - Indicator should work both when using the indicator API (e.g. under Unity, or under Gnome with AppIndicator support extension installed - https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/), as well as when using the StatusIcon API (e.g. under Gnome with no appindicator support).

  Also, other things I haven't tried include multi-monitor support, and
  menus on DEs other than Cinnamon and Xfce.

  [Other Info]

  Some time between Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 (from what I can gather from
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/variety/+bug/1598298/comments/23), the
  arguments for https://lazka.github.io/pgi-
  docs/#Gtk-3.0/callbacks.html#Gtk.MenuPositionFunc changed in a
  breaking manner. More specifically, what used to pass 2 arguments now
  passes 4. Part of this fix makes the relevant functions accept a
  variable amount of arguments, so that it should be compatible with all
  system versions.

  The other half of the fix is for the Variety indicator, and replaces a
  custom MenuPositionFunc using the old argument set with a static
  Gtk.StatusIcon.position_menu.
