I think GDL uses a notebook here (a GdlDockNotebook)? All widgets of 
notebooks are always set as visible, or their tab won't be shown. 
GdlDockItem has iconified and other properties that could be used though.

I'll try that once I got some time.

I want to check first if the pane is indeed visible so that if its 
visible, we just change the current URI of the current tab. If it is not 
visible then create a new tab so that the user won't be surprised that 
pages in his tabs changed without his knowledge.

If you want I could push the current patches to Bugzilla so that you 
could take a look. Though you need WebKitGTK+ to compile them.

I've tried adding the shortcut to the GtkActionEntry structs, without 
success.

Maybe, AnjutaUI should add accelerators to AnjutaWindow using 
gtk_window_add_accel_group? There's a call to 
gtk_ui_manager_get_accel_group but it was only used to disconnect 
accelerators, but I can't find where it adds them to the window (I just 
grep'ed the sources in libanjuta directory).
