I use it to add accelerators to buttons and so on. Gtk-Perl does not have
the GNOMEUIINFO stuff bound yet so I have to generate the pixmap menuitems
by hand but, obviously, they don't have accelerators specified in the
Glade file. They can't be edited in Glade so I add the accelerators to
another widget and point the menuitem 'activate' to that other widget.
I realise that this is only a work-around but I can imagine other ways
of developing that would need to attach accelerators to other types of
widget. I guess that it's impossible to predict and undesirable to force
people to design UIs in a particular way, even if that way _is_ supposed
to be 'best practice'.
I don't mind if you tuck unusual features away somewhere and clean up the
interface as long as they are still there somewhere. Hacking about in
the backwoods can be fun and I don't add accelerators so often that the
extra mouse-click is going to matter.
It's funny how features that are removed are _far_ more contentious than
those that are just missing :-)
Just my 0.02 Euro
