Hmmm. Two hints that *may* be relevant to your problem:
a) AFAIK, an AccelGroup needs to be attach()ed to a GtkWindow for it
to do anything useful. It could be that the Factory already does
this for you..
b) There *should* be a way of getting the accelerator keyval from the
actual label; for instance, the `old' GtkLabel had a parse_uline()
method that would return the keyval for the accelerator key.
Ah, I see it's been deprecated. Hmm, what are you supposed to use
in place of it?
Take care,
