Put an _ in front of the letter you want to underline and alt-letter
will get you that menu.

Snippets from some of my code that demonstrate this:

  static GtkItemFactoryEntry menu_items[] =
  {
    { "/_File", NULL, 0, 0, "<Branch>" },
    { "/File/_Save Image", "<control>S", file_save_cb, 0},
    { "/File/tearoff1", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Tearoff>" },
    { "/File/sep1", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Separator>" },
    { "/File/_Quit", "<control>Q", file_quit_cb, 0},
  };

 static int num_menu_items = sizeof (menu_items) / sizeof(menu_items[0]);

...

  GtkAccelGroup *accel_group;
  GtkItemFactory *item_factory;

  accel_group = gtk_accel_group_new ();
  item_factory = gtk_item_factory_new (GTK_TYPE_MENU_BAR, "<main>",
                                       accel_group);
  gtk_item_factory_create_items (item_factory, num_menu_items,
                                 menu_items, NULL);
  gtk_accel_group_attach (accel_group, GTK_OBJECT (main_window_));
