I think I explained that the only problem is that you will most likely rebind your keybindings accidentally if you use mnemonics while Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts are enabled. > As a user in this case, I am just confused.

You misunderstood me and it would certainly have helped if you had simply started 1.3, enabled Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts and tried to use mnemonics to navigate the menus. I have the impression you didn't do that or you would have discovered what I was talking about. It's not that we did this change without a lot of thought and discussion. We even had the dynamic keybindings enabled for quite some time although GTK2 disables it by default. It just turned out that it is too dangerous to have it enabled all the time. Sven
