Well without a full working example to play with, I just guess. :-) I wonder if in your xorg.conf ( or X11config) there are settings for the Button-3 timeout but maybe I wrong.

Anyways, the only thing I can think off is this old post by graff, maybe you can adapt it to the right click. I tried changing it to button-3, but I needed to select the word first. Apparently the entry dosn't handle double right click....or it's the same problem you are talking about? 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Tk;

# by graff of perlmonks 
# The way that works is that the initial "button-1" event  
# will invoke "Tk::after" to schedule a call to "print_me"  
# after half a second, but a double-button-1 event will  
# call "print_me" immediately, with a parameter that makes  
# it behave in a special way. The logic associated with  
# that special parameter also has to "cancel" the Tk::after  
# object that had been scheduled by the button-1 event that  
# was the first half of the double-click. 

my $after_id;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->Label(-text => "Type a phrase in the entry box below")->pack();
$mw->Label(-text => "Then click once to print all of it")->pack();
$mw->Label(-text => "Or double-click to print just one word")->pack();
my $ent = $mw->Entry(-width => 25)->pack();

$ent->bind( "<Double-Button-1>", [\&print_me, "word"] );
$ent->bind( "<Button-1>",
sub {
$after_id = $ent->after( 500, [\&print_me, $ent] )
}
);

MainLoop;

sub print_me
{
my ( $widget, $mode ) = @_;
my $content = $widget->get();
if ( $mode eq "word" ) {
$widget->afterCancel( $after_id );
my $start = $widget->index( 'sel.first' );
my $length = $widget->index( 'sel.last' ) - $start;
print "you double-clicked the word: " .
substr( $content, $start, $length), $/;
} else {
print $content,$/;
}
}
