I think you are wrong here. You said that the menu binding override the application keys. First this would be a terrible wrong behaviour. The application specific keys should have priority, but, as I type this in gmail, and am then using firefox, which is also implemented with gtk as far as I know, there the menu keys are overridden. E.g the menu says, "Select all Ctrl+A" but ^A works, it goes to the beginning of line, as Ctrl+P to previous line etc. Otherwise I would have had a lot of problems with gmail, as well. What would be the correct and obvious behaviour is that the application prints on the menu keys the current active keybinding for that function. Any other behaviour is flawed from my point of view.
