This is for GTK 1.0.x. It adds an accelerator to a menu item:

  GtkAcceleratorTable *accelerator_table;

  accelerator_table = gtk_accelerator_table_new ();
  gtk_window_add_accelerator_table (GTK_WINDOW (win_main), accelerator_table);

  menuitem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label (_("Open..."));
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (menuitem), "activate",
		      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (on_project_open), NULL);
  gtk_widget_install_accelerator (menuitem, accelerator_table,
				  "activate", 'O', GDK_CONTROL_MASK);

GTK 1.1.x is more like:

  GtkAccelGroup *accel_group;
  accel_group = gtk_accel_group_get_default ();

  menuitem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label (_("Open..."));
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (menuitem), "activate",
		      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (on_project_open), NULL);
  gtk_widget_add_accelerator (menuitem, "activate", accel_group,
			      'O', GDK_CONTROL_MASK, GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE);
