[Emil Donca <emil_donca@xxxxxxxxx>]

Everything menu-related in Ubuntu was awful throughout the years. It's
like multiple concurrent failed attempts to come up with something newer
and better (like global menus) when in fact it just produces
inconsistency and removes something that works and people are familiar
with.

Just upgraded to 14.04 only to find Nautilus has no menus whatsoever, and after 1h of searching I still don't get them.
can_change_accels works in neither dconf nor gconf, and manually editing accels files doesn't work, and files are overwritten on next program quit (by program I mean e.g. gedit). The level of regression in the area of Menus is just horrible.

Title:
  Should support changing shortcuts via can_change_accels (menu item
  selection + key combination)

Status in The Application Menu:

Status in “indicator-appmenu” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu

  Standard GTK menus support changing keyboard shortcuts displayed on
  the right hand side of the menus by highlighting the menu item and
  pressing the new shortcut. The feature is controlled by the
  can_change_accels Gconf key and is often the only supported way to
  configure shortcuts in applications [1].
