Hi,

I found this function in Gtk::ActionGroup:
void 	add (const Glib::RefPtr<Action>& action, const AccelKey& accel_key, const Action::SlotActivate& slot)

So you should add menu items like this:
	refActionGroup->add (Gtk::Action::create("Foo", Gtk::Stock::YES, "_Foo"),
				Gtk::AccelKey ('r', Gdk::CONTROL_MASK, "<ui>/Where/Is/Foo"),
				sigc::mem_fun (*this, &Window::on_foo));
 
I don't know why but It doesn't work for toolbar items!
