Ahh, a very good point indeed, although i never use the keypad, I'm
sure some people cant live without it when calculating lots of numbers
(i'm just not very efficient with the keypad)

Agreed on that point, The menu editor acts *strange*, changing icons
requires a right click or something like that, then each one has to be
saved before another one can be created, it's just wierd :((

Point well taken, o does work. But I was under the assumption if there
is an underscore in one of the menu options, the alt-key would always
work.

And of course there still remains a problem, the alt-f1 alt-f2, etc in
Enlightenment are still locked out during this operation.  And on top
of that, When I run alt-f in ghex (or any other similar application),
I am not able to switch to another menu bar menu. Ie. alt-f opens the
file menu in ghex, I cant continue with an alt-v for the view menu or
alt-h for the help menu, till i unleash the original alt-f menu :~(((((
