Just a short notification:
By implementing something like this (you need to check isVisible()/isEnabled() 
for all parent widgets, too) the primary problem can be fixed.
However at least one related problems remains:
When there are two different buttons with the same accelerator which both can 
be visible (but only one at a time), then one accelerator does not work at 
all (although it is underlined correctly and therefore recognized by the user 
as "existing"). This is because libufo stores accelerators globally, but can 
store at most one slot per accel.

Example (taken from boson):
* Welcome widget with button "S&tart New Game"
  * NewGame widget with button "S&tart"
The "Welcome" widget is visible initially. From there the user can (e.g.) 
enter the "NewGame" widget which causes the welcome widget to be hidden and 
the NewGame widget to be shown instead.

This example can be made more complex by including the "Start &Editor" button 
which shows the "StartEditor" widget that also provides a "S&tart" button.
And of course both widgets have a "&Cancel" button...
