You think that being able to assign new accelerators on the fly is bad
news?  It's the single most useful thing I've come across in GTK.  It makes
my Gimp life much easier by letting me quickly & intuitively customize the
accellerators to fit the task I'm doing.  Turning this off would be a major
setback, IMHO.  Please don't.
