the menu items you create.

that is an inherently bad idea, that will mean there's no facility to load
save and propagate accelerators for menu items for C++ gtk programs.
even if you create menu items manually, to get proper accelerator
propagation working with them you need to announce them to the item
factory class. take a look at gtk_item_factory_add_foreign() there's not
much beyond the menu item and the accel group you use to get stuff
working correctly.
