Ideally this handling should only occur in the input method, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet and Kristian Reitveld doesn't think it's important enough to do anything about. If anyone knows enough about the simple input method to write a patch to fix this it would be most welcome. Post it to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617583.

so what are my options if I do not know the details about input
methods? I can go back to ige-mac-integration and try to get my menu
problem solved, but that seems to be a step backwards.. Are there
other options? Converting the shortcuts in the application code
somehow?
