Good tip!
Anyway I understand why 'R',  Gdk::SHIFT_MASK | Gdk::CONTROL_MASK did 
not work: that accel was catched by beryl... what a shame.

Furthermore Gtk::AccelKey seems to accept ustring for accel, so we can 
write:

refActionGroup->add(Gtk::Action::create("Foo", Gtk::Stock::YES, "_Foo"),
                            Gtk::AccelKey("<control> r"),
                            sigc::mem_fun(*this, &Window::on_foo))

More readable and without the widget path, it works.
