You do something like this:

	GtkAccelGroup *menu_accel_group;
	guint accel_key;

	menu_accel_group = gtk_menu_ensure_uline_accel_group (GTK_MENU (menu));

	menuitem = gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label ("");
	accel_key = gtk_label_parse_uline (GTK_LABEL (GTK_BIN (menuitem)->child),
                                           _("Show _Only Working Hours"));
	gtk_widget_add_accelerator (menuitem, "activate", menu_accel_group,
				    accel_key, 0, 0);


Using GtkItemFactory may be easier.
