/**
 * An AccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached
 * to a toplevel Window.  Usually you will not need to create an AccelGroup
 * directoy; instead, when using ItemFactory, GTK+ automatically sets up the 
 * accelerators for your menus in the item factory's AccelGroup.
 * <p>
 * Note that <i>accelerators</i> are different from <i>mnemonics</i>.  Accelerators
 * are shortcuts for activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu
 * item they're a shortcut for.  For example, "Ctrl+Q" might appear alongside the
 * "Quit" menu item.  Mnemonics are shortcuts for GUI elements such as text entries
 * or buttons; they appear as underlined characters.
