Bug Description

When accessing a menu with the keyboard, mnemonics for the drop down menu are not immediately visible. Thus, one cannot quickly spot the mnemonic needed to open a menu item.

Steps to see the issue:

* Open gedit
* Press Alt+f to open the file pull down menu: menmonics cannot be seen. Only pressing the down arrow to highlight the first menu item will reveal the mnemonics

Desired behaviour

On opening a pull down menu with the keyboard, mnemonics are visible, so the user immediately can proceed typing the correct mnemonic (if he does not yet know it by heart).

Another issue (for another bug report): after opening a pull down menu with alt+letter, one has to first release the alt key for the accelerator letter to work.
