Enable GTK+ auto mnemonics

[Luca Ferretti]

Binary package hint: light-themes

GTK+ 2.20 introduces the ability to auto show/hide mnemonics when the Alt key is pressed. This feature is disabled by default (see [1] and [2]) and can be enabled adding

    gtk-auto-mnemonic=1

in GTK+ RC file (such as $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 for testing purpose).

Could be good enabling it in Ubuntu in order to match the UI appearance of other operating system, as well as to provide a more clean interface.

PS
I've not yet tested how it works in non GTK+ apps like OO.o and Firefox. Just the time to logout and login and I'll provide a shot

:( unfortunately it seems that only pure GTK+ apps are able to support this...
Maybe could be good file bugs against FF and OO.o

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not sure why you opened a gtk task, it's purely a theme setting to set in lucid since the gtk version here has the feature ready

[David Siegel (djsiegel-deactivatedaccount)]

+1 from Otto Greenslade.

??? Sebastien, I didn't opened the gtk task... However, here is a patch against revision 5 on main light-themes branch.

sorry I didn't address the comment specifically to somebody it was for whoever did open the gtk task there. thank you for patch I think the art team has already been working on that and fixed several other bugs today and a new version should be uploaded later this week in lucid
