Bug Description
0.48.2 r9819
Windows 7 x64 RTM
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Inkscape.
2. Hit the "Alt" button on your keyboard.
What happens:
Absolutely nothing.
What should happen:
The Inkscape UI Menu bar should be triggered so you can use the arrow keys to move around in it (so you don't always have to use the mouse).
Every other program I use on my W7 system can do this correctly (like in Firefox and LibreOffice), I don't know why Inkscape can't. Also, this is reproducible in 0.48.1-2 100% of the time.

Did you actually compare it with other applications using the GTK+ toolkit (e.g. GIMP) on Windows?
In Inkscape (like e.g. in GIMP), the standard keyboard shortcut <F10> [1] activates the main menu: this keyboard shortcut is also listed in the 'Inkscape keyboard and mouse reference': inkscape. org/doc/ keys048. html#d0e1244>

Individual menus are accessed with 'Alt' + access key (underline character in the menu name) [2].
