But note that the doc description indicates you're expected to set the accel shown yourself, rather than that the MenuItem will automatically show one if it's available: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkMenuItem.html#GtkMenuItem.description I see no indication in gtkmenuitem.c that it ever manages the displayed accelerator for the user. If you're using some other means of creating MenuItems, we need to know what that is, to say whether or not that method should be doing this for you automatically. > Also the menu item's size is not updated either.

The latter > never happens when using gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path(). Isn't this a tautology? Why would the size be updated for an accelerator that is not being shown...?
