Would it be alright to put a fprintf() there, recompile and reinstall
wxWidgets, then run my app to find out? Is there a better way?

I tried your other suggestion to add a panel to the frame, but it does
not solve the problem. Does this panel require special event handling
to intercept the accelerators in wxGTK?

The app I am working on has a wxGLCanvas that fills up the client area
of the frame, and this canvas does receive key strokes just fine. Menu
accelerators that have been specified when creating menu items also
work fine on wxGTK. Only the accelerators created by
SetAcceleratorTable() for the frame don't work...
