Hello Nils,

I´m doing the job in this way:

  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkAccelGroup *AccelGroup;

  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

  AccelGroup = gtk_accel_group_new ();
  gtk_accel_group_attach (AccelGroup, GTK_OBJECT (window));

  button=gtk_button_new_with_label("Quit");
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(delete), NULL);

  gtk_widget_add_accelerator(button,"clicked",&AccelGroup,
        GDK_q,0,
        GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE|GTK_ACCEL_SIGNAL_VISIBLE);

good luck
