[gnomemm] Missing Stock Menu Item Accelerators

[Samuel Abels <spam debain org>]

Hello,

I have sent this request to the glademm-list before, so apologies if you
receive the message for the second time.

I have built a window using Glade2/libglademm2. There are several
accelerators attached to menu items, and in Glade2 they are correctly
showing up in the menu (e.g. File/"Quit Ctrl+Q").

But when I load the window in my program, the accelerators will not work
and they are not showing up in the menu as well.

This happens only with the stock menu items. The accelerators of
non-stock items work fine.

I have tried the glademm example from libglademm/examples/menus/, but
the same problem happens there either.

Glade 2.0.1
libglade 2.0.1
libglademm 2.1.2

The complete code (from the example, but using sigc-1.2) is appended
below.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Samuel
