Oversight related to gtk 2.16 workarounds, now fixed.

Aah, I forgot, there's very little hardcoding any more, <Ctrl>2 is just a
default binding for the main-window.

The reason is: every action has overheads, and I'm loathe to heft things up
where the benefits of extra actions are not worth the costs. So how far do we

(IIRC)? 6? 10? There's nothing magic about the digits, so 20?
