I don't think this is a good idea. First, it is difficult because
there are many ways to trigger a GtkAction, and only one of them uses
a mouse. What would it mean to test for shift-click if your GtkAction
was triggered by a keybaord shortcut? Second, many people are unable
to use a mouse. How will they use your application if they only have a
keyboard?

I think you will need to think of another way to design your program
:-( Perhaps you could have a toggle button somewhere which changed the
way your menu items behaved?
