The following gtk+ documentation may also be useful:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.13/GtkMenuItem.html#gtk-menu-item-set-accel-path
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.13/gtk-Accelerator-Maps.html#gtk-accel-map-add-entry

I've never used any of this so I couldn't explain it more than the docs
do.  :-)
