This led me to another problem... 
I would like to use delete as accelerator in a menu like this:

{"/Edit/_Delete", "<delete>", GTK_MENU_FUNC(delete_selection), 0, NULL},

I've tried both "<delete>", "<Delete>" and "delete", but the accelerator
definition seems to be silently ignored.

After some testing I found that mnemonics without modifiers just won't
work in frames that deals with text input, but might be ok in
Yes/No-dialogs.
