Is there anyway of overriding a window managers keybindings in an application ?
AFAIK, no. I could be wrong here, but I believe the window manager sees the keys before they ever get to the application, and eats them. Some window managers may potentially support a "pass-through" mode, but I don't know (I don't know that I've ever seen such a features, except I seem to remember one in an older version of wmii that was user-activated, not program-activated).
Besides, overriding the WM's keybindings would be detrimental to users - they expect the WM keybindings to work the same in all applications. Especially those of us using highly kbd-driven WM's.
The second concerns menued items which have been configured using an array of GtkActionEntries. Can I changed the associated keybindings on the fly, i.e. after loading a keymap file ? The menus are defined in a xml file.
Can't help you there. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of managing accellerator myself.
