I think the problem is that the accelerator keys for your menuitems need
to be added to the toplevel window somehow (e.g. with
gtk_window_add_accel_group()). But I don't think libglade provides a way
to get the GtkAccelGroup that is used when creating "vat.glade".

It would be simpler if you just had the window & menubar in one XML
file.

I don't really understand the way accelerators are done in GTK+ 2, I'm
afraid, so can't help much.
