Re: "Ctrl+c" text in menu item gets lost

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

Yet another difference between window managers!

It works as expected on Ubuntu Flashback, but the accelerators are lost 
from the menus on Ubuntu Unity. Which operating system and window 
manager do you use?

For another discussion of differences between the flavours of Ubuntu, 
see the thread on gtkmm-list starting at 
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtkmm-list/2014-November/msg00017.html.
