[wxGTK 2.8.0] accelerators not working

[notnot]

Hello all,

I'm having troubles getting accelerators to work, via SetAcceleratorTable().
See this minimal program that won't function properly on wxGTK, but works
fine with wxMac and wxMSW. (Note that on wxMSW, the accelerator keys are
case sensitive, on wxMac they are not).

Could it be that I misconfigured wxGTK while installing it? I have
configured wxGTK
with --with-opengl --enable-shared --disable-no_rtti --disable-no_exceptions.
Does wxWidgets write an installation log file that I could check to spot any
differences between my wxGTK/wxMac/wxMSW installations?

I have googled and searched the wxWidget archives, and learned quite a
bit, but
apparently not enough to solve my problem...
