Description Calum Benson 2003-07-15 11:59:39 UTC 
You seem to have to arrow down into the Applications or Actions menu before
you can use the mnemonics.  They should work when the title is focused too,
e.g. you should be able to press Alt-F1 then R to open the Run Program
dialog, just like you can press Alt-F then S to save a file in gedit etc.

Marking as a ui-review bug so you're allowed to fix it :)

        Make the items in the Main Menu have invisible mnemonics too.
        Fixes bug #117457.
                                                                     
                                                       
        * menu.[ch]:
        (setup_full_menuitem): add an extra "invisible_mnemonic"
        arg and if true make the first character of the menu item
        a hidden accelerator.
        (create_root_menu): use it here for the Main Menu.
