Sorry for the late reply, forgot about the thread. ;-)

Remember there are two things:

 - mnemonics, i.e. the underlined char in a label, typically focuses
   an entry or presses a button, usually alt + underlined char
 - accelerators, usually Ctrl+something, mostly used for menus, though
   they can also exist outside of menus

The underlined char in your menu/toolbar labels is a mnemonic, not an
accelerator. Any widget with a label inside it or next to it can (and
should) have a mnemonic.

So e.g. gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic(), gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(),
gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget(), would be examples of functions you
use with mnemonics.
