Have you added the accel group to the window? You need:

        accel_group = gtk_ui_manager_get_accel_group( mainw->ui_manager );
        gtk_window_add_accel_group( GTK_WINDOW( mainw ), accel_group );

For example, search in:

http://vips.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vips/nip2/trunk/src/program.c?view=markup

for accel for some boilerplate.
