If gschem wouldn't mess with the menu widget, GTK would allow for accel
configuration onb the fly. This works to an extend with PCB-gtk: Open the 
menu, move the mouse to the item to be configured and type whatever accel 
you are up to. This accel is immediately in effect. This is a standard 
feature of GTK applications. On a Gnome desktop you might have to set
"gnome -> interface -> can_change_accels" in gconf-editor.

The only aspect that does not work with PCB-gtk, is that the config 
is lost at the end of a session. I sometimes use it anyway, if a 
task calls for repeated application of menu actions that are accel-less
by default.
