accelerator keys for (right-click) menu only work after menu has been through a show-all

[Dan Hitt <dan hitt gmail com>]

Hi All,

I'm writing a little app, and i put a right click menu in it.

The menu is created early on, but i only show it (do a show-all on it)
when button 3 (right click) is pressed.

The items in the menu have accelerator keys.

The problem is that although the accelerator keys work after the first
show-all, so that i never have to right click again, i do have to
right click at least once.

Before the first right click, the accelerator keys do not work.

The menu is created early on, but i suppose some crucial piece of it
is must be getting some initialization during gtk_widget_show_all().

Is this correct?

And, if so, is there some way to do a show-all on the menu, without
actually showing anything, just to get the menu items initialized
enough that they can be handled with accelerator keys?

TIA for any info!
