I don't think we can do that with all toolkits, because once Emacs
pops up the menu, the toolkit has control.

In any case, C-mouse-3 is a kind of prefix key, and we never display
help for prefix keys, we always wait for the user to type the complete
key sequence, which in this case includes menu selection.

You need to select one of the menu items by clicking on it, then you
will see the help for that item.
