It is what X toolkits do. In fact, once the menu is posted, the arrow
navigation and RET selection is all done by the toolkit
(Lesstif/Motif/Gtk+).
In that case, it is clearly the right thing.

Toolkits in general doesn't choose accelerators, the programmers of the
applications that uses the toolkit does. However, many meny entries are
similar in a lot of applications (Open/Save/Copy/Paste/...) so we can
choose
those to be similar.
I suspect another miscommunication here. What do you mean by
"accelerators"? I thought we were talking about typing a letter _once
the menu is active_ to select a given menu item. Is that what you
mean, too?
How do these get selected, with LessTif and GTK?
(This discussion is for work to be done after the release, if at all.)
