I've had success with placing a JPopupMenu over the QTCanvas. But, in that case, the popup must be configured to be a heavy-weight. You do that by:

popup.setLightWeightPopupEnabled (false);

Likewise with a JMenu:

JMenu aMenu = new JMenu ("File");
aMenu.getPopupMenu().setLightWeightPopupEnabled (false);

You can also do something similar with tool tips that happen to overlap the QTCanvas:

ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setLightWeightPopupEnabled (false);

However, in this last case, it's global in that all tool tips will be heavy-weights.

Hope that helps.
