Yes, I defined the accelerator keys for a couple buttons using the
common properties in Glade. I'm using GtkBuilder format for all my UI
definitions.

I'll have to take a look at that one, thanks.

If you want to take a look, my code can be seen on github at
https://github.com/smcgrath/azathoth-client/tree/gtkmvc-refactor

For context, this application is used to monitor and control a robot
over a wi-fi connection. It's kind of a mess because I got a little
ways into it and decided to refactor everything into the gtkmvc
framework before proceeding any further.

Roberto:

Thank you, I think this explanation is a bit more clear than the old
message from you that I quoted. Part of the problem I think is more
generally GTK-related, in that I haven't worked with the UIManager or
Actions/ActionGroups yet. So far I've always defined toolbars and
menubars traditionally, as object hierarchies within my main window's
glade file. Any small example of how to connect all the "plumbing" of
UIManager in a gtkmvc application would be useful indeed.

Thanks much,
