In Qt 4 the easiest way to get a context menu is _not_ to reimplement
the context menu event, but instead to 
(1) Set the context menu policy on the widget you are interested in,
i.e.  QWidget.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt.ActionsContextMenu), then
(2) Add the actions you want to appear in the menu to the widget with
QWidget.addAction(action1), etc.

So for your particular example, do this both to your QTableView, and to
the widget you get from QTableView.horizontalHeader().

I haven't tried this with a horizontalHeader() myself though.
