I am using this code for accelerated menu items :

GtkWidget *menu_item(field , accel_group)
gchar *field;
GtkAccelGroup **accel_group;
{
        GtkWidget *item,*label;
        guint accelerator_key;
 
        item = gtk_menu_item_new();

        label = gtk_accel_label_new(field);
        gtk_widget_show(label);
        gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(item) , label);

        accelerator_key = 
                gtk_label_parse_uline (GTK_LABEL (label), field);

        if (accelerator_key != GDK_VoidSymbol)
        {
                if (!*accel_group)
                        *accel_group = gtk_accel_group_new ();

                gtk_widget_add_accelerator (item,
                        "activate_item",
                        accel_group,
                        accelerator_key,
                        GDK_MOD1_MASK,
                        GTK_ACCEL_LOCKED);
        }
	return item;
}

and then after all menu items are created, bind accel_group to toplevel
widget: 

	gtk_accel_group_attach (accel_group, GTK_OBJECT (toplevel));

Stevo.
