That's indeed awesome, however, various OS's (like Windows) trap the Alt key
for menubar activation so GIMP (GTK?) needs to distinguish that Alt+(something)
= shortcut key and Alt (by itself) = activate the menubar. On which note, I am
occasionally frustrated that pressing the ALT key in a GTK2+ app does not
activate the menubar like every Windows user expects it to. (This applies to
GIMP and Inkscape both.) This is a major suckage on the UI too (esp. if it's
not reconfigurable), because alt key sequences are just as strong a habit as
Ctrl+shortcut keys are.
