Re: gtk vs qt accelerators.

I'd certainly prefer to not have to think about accelerators at all,
because I don't have the context for collisions when I do those.

I even left the accelerators out of the translators at some point, but
gave up to the urge to tinker later and started putting them back again.

The only argument I could see to having language-specific thought in
accelerators is on what kinds of stuff is a 'logical' letter for things,
but a lot of the time we don't really get to go with those either
because of collisions.
