Description Rene van Bevern 2004-04-08 18:47:38 UTC 
The bug occours in GIMP and X-Chat after an update from GTK 2.2 to GTK 2.4.
In the normal state of the menubar (means visible) shortcuts are working. These
are for example:
X-Chat: Ctrl+W for closing a tab
GIMP: For undoing an action

Now disable the menubar
X-Chat: Richt click in a text window, deactivate "menu bar"
GIMP: In the menu of an image-window select "View->menu bar"

With the deactivation of the menubars, Ctrl+W (X-Chat) and Ctrl+Z (GIMP) stop
working. This - of course - also applies to all other menu-defined shortcuts.

This is very annoying because the menu bar in these applications are not needed,
they are reachable through right-clicks in the text/image area - but hotkeys
stop working ...

The key-examples were supposed to be:

X-Chat: Ctrl+W for closing a tab
GIMP: Ctrl+Z for undoing an action

Mitch - can you take care of dup'ing?
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2004-04-08 20:19:02 UTC 
Sure. What version of GIMP is this btw? GIMP 2.0 has a workaround
so shortcuts work regardless menubar visibility.
