Could this be something to do with the BrokenLocale.so which I have
never been able to find for Slackware 3.x ?
Incidentally I installed KDE1.0 over the weekend, and I can verify that
the mnemonic also dont work there too.

I did some more tests of my own, and found that it is in fact related to
XFree86. Running Metro-X, Swing mnemonics work; under XFree86 3.3.2.3
they do not, with everything else the same.
I'll investigate some more and try to figure out why this is, and if there
is a workaround or fix. In the meantime, you could always buy Metro-X
(only $39)... :-)
