Accelerators don't work

[Pramod Patangay <pramod_iitg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am trying to add accelerators to menu items. But
they don't seem to work as they should. There's a
menuitem which when activated will hide the menu bar.
But once the menu bar is hidden, none of the
accelerators work.
 I am using Fedora Core. Any idea on what's going on
here? Why are accelerators disabled when menu bar is
hidden? How do I enable them? and what are the other
workarounds? Suprisingly I don't face this problem on
RedHatLinux-8 but only on FedoraCore.

Thanks

Sample program is attached below:

gboolean menuActive = TRUE;
void print( GtkWidget *w , gpointer data)
{
        g_print("Hi\n");
        if (menuActive)
                gtk_widget_hide(GTK_WIDGET(data));
        else
                gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(data));
}

int main( int   argc, char *argv[] )
{
        gtk_init (&argc, &argv);


        GtkWidget *w =
gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
       
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(w),100,100);
        GtkAccelGroup *gag = gtk_accel_group_new();
        gtk_window_add_accel_group(GTK_WINDOW(w),gag);

        GtkWidget *menu = gtk_menu_bar_new();
        GtkWidget *submenu = gtk_menu_new();
        GtkWidget *m1 = gtk_separator_menu_item_new();
        GtkWidget *m2 =
gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("View");
        GtkWidget *m3 = gtk_separator_menu_item_new();
        GtkWidget *m4 =
gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("Tools");
        GtkWidget *m5 =
gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("File");
       
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(submenu),m1);
       
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(submenu),m2);
       
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(submenu),m3);
       
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu),m4);
       
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu),m5);
       
gtk_menu_item_set_submenu(GTK_MENU_ITEM(m4),submenu);
       
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(m2),"activate",G_CALLBACK(print),menu);
       
gtk_widget_add_accelerator(m2,"activate",gag,GDK_A,(GdkModifierType)0,GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE);

        gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(w),menu);

        gtk_widget_show(m1);
        gtk_widget_show(m2);
        gtk_widget_show(m3);
        gtk_widget_show(m4);
        gtk_widget_show(m5);
        gtk_widget_show(menu);
        gtk_widget_show(submenu);
        gtk_widget_show(w);

        gtk_main();
        return 0;
}
