Re: Not disabling menu item accelerator when hiding menu bar, ...

[Daniel Yek <dyek real com>]

Hi David,

I didn't receive your reply in my inbox and only found it in the archive 
when I checked yesterday.

Thank you for being so helpful. I'm very grateful.

So, you created a duplicated, somewhat redundant, pop-up menu so that when 
the menu bar is unmapped and disabled, there is another menu (the popup) 
not being disabled and can accept the same set of accelerators.

That is a good idea in that an application likes The Gimp would have a 
popup menu anyway and that it points to area where I can do more digging 
and might just be able to keep only one copy (less kludge).

Thanks much.

If other people know the answers to other questions (at the bottom) and 
would like to share with me before I find out for myself, I'm still all ears!
