(answering both Marsel and Lixin).

Sorry for the dumb answer. Gtk_AccelGroup simply isn't fully
implemented yet (should be anytime now, Tero said he'd done it and was
about to check it in CVS, it's probably already in there), and a quick
check show that there are also a couple of accel_group related methods
missing from Gtk_Menu for 1.1.1 (I'll correct that tonight).

As for the exact method to use, sorry, I don't now :-(. According to
testgtk.c, just setting the accel_group should be enough.
