gtk-can-change-accels

[Gyözö Both <gyboth bygfoot com>]

hello,

i hope i'm not asking anything that's already been clarified before; the 
archives of this list are huge and i couldn't find out whether this has been 
asked before.

i'm writing a gtk+2 application (the interface of which gets created by 
glade), and i'd like to make use of this magnificent feature that allows 
users to change the keyboard shortcuts by hovering on a menu entry with the 
mouse and pressing the buttons.

now i've tried to achieve this by creating a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file containing 
'gtk-can-change-accels = 1' and also by setting the appropriate value to 1 
with 'gnome-conf'. it didn't work. then i tried to do a 

        GtkSettings *settings = gtk_settings_get_default();
        g_object_set(settings, "gtk-can-change-accels", TRUE, NULL);

right after creating my main window containing a menubar (created with glade); 
this didn't work, either, i still could not change the shortcuts.

i'd appreciate any help and hints.

i did read the post by havoc pennington saying that one should not hard-code 
this setting as it should be user-configurable, but as i mentioned, i 
couldn't configure it with the rc file.
