Quoth Steffen Gl__ckselig on or about 2004-11-02:
I've searched my system and found several gtkrc-files. I appended the line gtk-can-change-accels = 1 in each of them in succession with no - ehm - success.
Try creating one in your %HOME% directory. Mine read (not counting the $ line)
$ cat $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 include "/usr/share/themes/Industrial Black/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" gtk-can-change-accels = 1 gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" gtk-font-name = "Sans 6"
I noticed that dia and gimp would create some directories .dia and .gimp-2.0 in my 'home' inkscape creates an Inkscape-direcotry where preferences.xml is stored. But this does not contain a menurc nor gtkrc.
I suppose it's possible that Inkscape doesn't use this feature -- I don't really understand how it works. I can't get dynamic bindings to work on my Linux machine (0.39cvs2004-06-16).
In gimp there is an option in the preferences whether gimp should use the dynamic shortcuts. So it seems to me that gimp is able to enable that feature from within!?
I'm not sure how the option in Gimp relates to the method I described.
