Some further experimentation:


GtkWidget *menu, *file, *test;

menu = gtk_menu_new();
file = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("File");
gtk_menu_item_set_submenu(GTK_MENU_ITEM(file), menu);

test = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("test");
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu), test);
gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path(GTK_MENU_ITEM(test), "<test>/File/test");

if (gtk_accel_map_lookup_entry("<test>/File/test", NULL))
        printf("Accel path found!\n");
else    printf("Accel path not found\n");


Is there any reason the call to gtk_accel_map_lookup_entry should be
returning false?
As thats what its doing...
