[Glade-users] Accelerators with glade-generated menus

[Thomas Klose]

I found the answer by myself:

Glade.XML.EnsureAccel() returns the internally used accelerator group.
Now it works perfectly.

However, this finding was just a coincidence. The Mono documentation is
a real mess :(

Thanks anyway, Thomas
