Unfortunately this doesn't work for Gnome2 applications that are using
libgnomeui (maybe all?  I'm not sure ...).  But the cleaner ones of
those (I think of galeon here) have a xml file with the menu structure
and the accelerators in /usr/share/gnome-2.0/ui (debian).

I'm not sure either if these were left out for ease-of-use or
anti-confusion reasons or maybe just accidentally...
