The only problem is that we use Xt to install accelerators but on Label widget Initialize method OSF puts this code: ... some stuff deleted ... /* Accelerators are currently only supported in menus */ if ((lw->label._acc_text != NULL) && ((lw->label.menu_type == XmMENU_POPUP) || (lw->label.menu_type == XmMENU_PULLDOWN))) { ... stuff that set the accelerator text ... } else lw->label._acc_text = NULL; ... same stuff for accelerator ... ... other stuff deleted ... if ((XtClass(lw) == xmLabelWidgetClass) && ((lw->label.menu_type == XmMENU_POPUP) || (lw->label.menu_type == XmMENU_PULLDOWN) || (lw->label.menu_type == XmMENU_OPTION))) { lw->primitive.traversal_on = FALSE; lw->primitive.highlight_on_enter = FALSE; XtOverrideTranslations(lw, ((XmLabelClassRec *)XtClass(lw))->label_class.translations); } that makes a little hard to make accelerators working. I suppose that FORCING to NULL string is a constrain to respect the Style guide. If you want to permit to install acc "not in a menu" you must remove the 'else' part.
