bug 84241

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

I would like to see bug 84241 fixed in gtk 2.2 and possibly also on the 
2.0.x branch.

The gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() can be used to set the accel path on 
a menu item, but not unset it.  In contrast, gtk_widget_set_accel_path() 
can unset the accel path on a widget.  However, for menu items, 
unsetting with gtk_widget_set_accel_path(), the old accel path is still 
stored in menu_item->accel_path.

After reading the gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path(), it looks like the only 
thing stopping it from being used is one of the assertions at the top. 
I gave a possible replacement assertion in the comments of the bug:
   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84241

The reason I want to be able to do this is for my menu merge code in 
libegg.  I have functions to connect and disconnect a menu item to a 
particular action object.  When disconnecting, I want to unset the accel 
path if at all possible.

James.
