Making accellerators work in a hidden menu

[Sander Marechal <s marechal jejik com>]

Hello,

I am having problems making the F11 button into a fullscreen toggle in 
my application. I can make the button go from windowed to fullscreen, 
but I can't get it to work from fullscreen to windowed. Note: I am using 
libglade XML.

Currently I have the F11 set as accellerator key for two menu items: the 
"fullscreen" menu item and the "Leave fullscreen" menu item. These are 
not the stock menu items, because the stock items in Glade don't have 
the accelerator keys (and I can't set them), so they are regular menu 
items with labels abd a stock icon assigned. One of these is always 
hidden, depending on the fullscreen state of the application.

The problem is that I call gtk_widget_hide() on the menubar when I go 
into fullscreen. The menu bar is hidden and the F11 accellerator doesn't 
work anymore (none of the menu accellerators work anymore).

Is there a way I can have the F11 button (and preferably all menu 
accellerators) work when the menubar widget is hidden?
