It might be worth considering (if it's even possible) only having a timer on menu opening if the mouse is actually moving diagonally.

This problem has been solved repeatedly time-and-again since the mid- 1980s. The solution is a triangular bounding box and should be something that the standard GtkMenu/Qt menu widget should be doing automatically.
