Gah, This is my mistake.

This needs to be fixed in GTK+, GtkMenuItem doesnt use an accel-group
property to connect to the window's accel-group, right now the "accel-group"
is only handled by GtkImageMenuItem but it should be handled by
menu items in general.

Im sure there is a bug open for this but I cant seem to find it
right now.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Cheers,
