One of my favorite features of gtk 1, one of the ways in which it really blew away most existing widget sets, was the ability it gave the user to bind accelerators to menu items by bringing the mouse over a menu item and hitting the desired key combination. When I first saw it, I thought "*this* is the next step in UI...more user control". Then gtk 2.0 came out, and they were, as far as I can tell, gone. No mention that I saw of them in the docs. I even tried skimming the source. I figured that someone had temporarily yanked them out to work on them...but I've waited for a while now, and they don't seem to be going back in. Are these going to go back in? They were, IMHO, one of the few really major advances gtk made over the standard Win and Mac OS widget sets, and I'd like to see them return very much. It would be even cooler if gtk-menus stored and restored keybindings at application exit and launch, as gnome 1 menus do... Thanks...oh, and CCs to me would be appreciated. -- Best of luck, Mark Schreiber
