OK. I see you setup the accelerators to emit 'grab-focus' on the notebook
page and then connected your own signal handler to that to switch pages.
It is cleaner than my idea, but are you sure this is 100% reliable with
no strange side-effects? (I can't see any yet, but it feels slightly dodgy.)

I think the notebook in a notebook case is horrible. I'm not sure we should
support this dynamic switching of accel groups in Glade/libglade, since this
should all really be supported in GTK+.
It's too much work for the developer to do, so even if we support it, very
few other people will.
I've posted to gtk-devel about this again. I think a small change in GTK+
would make this a lot easier for us. (Change it so that the signals are only
emitted when the focus widget is visible/mapped. Thus any accelerators on
hidden notebook pages would just be skipped.)
