I've had this problem before myself.

Hmmm. You should save a reference to your AccelGroup, but I'm curious as
to what happens when you set pass in group to add_accelerator().
Have you looked at the GTK+ documentation for AccelGroups? It should be
simple to translate examples to PyGTK from that.

I talked to James over IRC about this once; there's an issue that (in a
similar situation as signals connected via libglade) there isn't an easy
way to reach accelerator groups that are created during the libglade
parse for most/some of the GTK+ widgets.
*However*, when I asked him, I was referring to keyboard accelerators in
widgets *other* than GtkMenu, and since GtkMenu *does* provide an API to
get to its accel_group, I'm as to why get_accel_group() is returning
None. It may very well be a bug.
Take care,

[pygtk] please help with setting accelerator for the menu item
Hi,
I apologize for asking a silly question here, but I just can't figure
it out by myself. I am creating a submenu of a main menu of a gnome
program. I would like to add accelerators to the menu items of my menu.
gomenu = gtk.Menu()
back = gtk.ImageMenuItem(gtk.STOCK_GO_BACK)
back.connect("activate",self.back_clicked)
back.show()
gomenu.append(self.back)
The above snippet works. But when I attempt to add an accelerator using
back.add_accelerator()
is when I get in trouble. The add_accelerator() method of gtk.Widget
wants accel_group as its second argument. What am I supposed to give
it?
I tried None (does not work) and an empty gtk.AccelGroup() (works but
produces complains about not being able to connect to the accel group).
I also tried obtaining the get_accel_group() of the present menu, which
returns None. I probably should add here that the whole menu hierarchy
was created in glade and parsed using libglade. I want to just create
this little submenu from the python code.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Alex
