No, this is not true. Attached to this mail a Glade project file, containing a
TextView with the four defined accelerator keys. This is my BASIC program:

-----------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/scriba

IMPORT gtk.bas

GLOBAL CONST nl = "\n"

gtk_server_cfg("log")
PRINT gtk_server_version(), nl

gtk_server_glade_file("project1.glade")

REM To get the internal ID of a widget, if needed
REM WIN = gtk_server_glade_widget("window")

REPEAT
    event = gtk_server_callback("wait")
UNTIL TRUE

END
-----------------------------------

If I start it, all accelerator keys work fine. I can cut, copy and paste. There
is an errormessage though, for <CTRL>+<A> ('select_all' signal) stating that the
signal needs an extra argument. But there is no way with Glade to put it there.
Therefore you probably should assign the signal manually in your program.

Programmatically you must use the GtkAcceleratorGroups, they are discussed here:

http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Keyboard-Accelerators.html


For details on usage of accelerator keys, please refer to the extensive GTK
documentation or -mailingslists.
