[Glade-users] any documentation

[potts at hpcapplications.com (Mark Potts)]

   Create your buttons with mnemonic's and the key catch
   is automatic for that button.  In the one-liner below
   the _ preceding the Q in the gtk function indicates that
   a key press of q will be equivalent to a "clicked" (I believe)
   signal for that button.  Can't speak to how-to-do-it in glade,
   but that's the/one gtk way.

   button = gtk_button_new_with_mnemonic ("_Quit");
