Thanks for the reply. I solved this problem by connecting the widget's "can-activate-accel" signal to a callback which will always return true. This solved the problem but now I am facing a new one. Some of the accelerators don't work even if the menubar is visible. But the shortcuts are shown as part of the menu item beside its name. Any thoughts on what might be happening here?

I've got the same problem (Gentoo-linux with gtk-2.4). This fault is either a bug or the gtk developers decided that accelerators to hidden menu items is not a valid way to code. I'm not sure, but probably the latter is correct. To work around this issue, you could add in your own keypress event handlers. When you get a hit for a key that should accelerate to the hidden menu item, just go to the callback directly and return TRUE, otherwise FALSE. Edscott _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
