    GtkAccelGroup *accel = NULL;
...
    accel = gtk_accel_group_new(); /* make a new group */
...
    menubar = menubar_new(accel, stuff); /* make a menubar from item
factory */
...
    gtk_window_add_accel_group(GTK_WINDOW(window), accel);
...

    /* prevent idiots from changing shortcut keys */
    gtk_accel_group_lock(accel);

I am assuming you are making the menu from a GtkItemFactory, which takes a
accelgroup as one of the parameters. Then you can lock the accelgroup and
the problem is solved. I also agree with you that this is one of the worst
features of GTK.
