Bug Description

Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654
Windows7 64-bit on 64-bit Intel (HP Pavilion dv6).

The Alt+B keyboard shortcut to the menu command "Edit->Make a Bitmap Copy" does not seem to work on my computer.

Reproduce:

1. [F6] Draw a path
2. [Alt+B] Nothing happens (except that it looks like the Layer docked window gets focus)

Compare to:
1. [F6] Draw a path
2. Click Edit->Make a Bitmap Copy
3. Notice a bitmap is created based on the path

Does the shortcut work if you don't have any (docked) dialog open?

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.1 and 0.48+devel r10184 on OS X 10.5.8 with the layer dialog docked.

If a docked dialog has a mnemonic for 'b', the keyboard shortcut defined for 'Make a Bitmap Copy' (Alt+b) is always caught by the dialog, whether it has focus or not (also happens e.g. with 'Document Properties', but not with 'Align & Distribute' - tested with locale 'en_US').
