I think the accelerators part of your suggestion is a great idea, 
although they should be named something different as it took me a while 
(years ago:) to figure out that "accelerators" was the Gtk+ name for 
keyboard shortcuts. Lots of people don't even know that accelerators can 
be defined on the fly, so highlighting this feature would definitely be 
A Good Thing, imho.

I don't think GUI customizations should be allowed at that level though. 
I expect it would lead to some apps that are customizable, some that 
aren't, which would create a massive amount of user interface 
inconsistency; something the whole Gnome API is designed to avoid.
