Public bug reported:

Gnome has had the hidden preferences option to set keyboard shortcuts
directly for some time now.  The functionality allows you to set a
keyboard shortcut by highlighting the menu item and pressing the key you
would like associated with it.  This behaviour is broken in gedit.

Setting the shortcut works as expected as long as gedit remains open,
but those shortcuts are lost when you restart the program.

Normally, I'd consider such a problem to be my own fault, and duly
accept resetting my preferred shortcuts each launch as my penance for
using such non-standard behaviour.  However, I've noticed that the
option is now exposed in the appearance control panel item in gutsy
('Interface | Editable menu shortcut keys'), and as such, I now feel
entitled to complain :p

My theory is that the menu accelerators are generated from the text of
the menu (or otherwise hardcoded), and that there is currently no
facility to override that.  My theories being what they are, I don't
expect that I'm right, but anyways...
