Everything menu-related in Ubuntu was awful throughout the years. It's like multiple concurrent failed attempts to come up with something newer and better (like global menus) when in fact it just produces inconsistency and removes something that works and people are familiar with.
Just upgraded to 14.04 only to find Nautilus has no menus whatsoever, and after 1h of searching I still don't get them. can_change_accels works in neither dconf nor gconf, and manually editing accels files doesn't work, and files are overwritten on next program quit (by program I mean e.g. gedit). The level of regression in the area of Menus is just horrible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-appmenu in Ubuntu.

The feature is controlled by the can_change_accels Gconf key and is often the only supported way to configure shortcuts in applications [1].
