show underlined menu items by default
in the previous releases of ubuntu menu items were underlined by default so i didnt have to press Alt to show them. however in maverick one has to press Alt to view them. how can i set ubuntu to show underlined menu items by default? is there a setting in gconf-editor?
As per Ubuntu bug 403691, try editing your .gtkrc and adding:
gtk-auto-mnemonics = 0
The .gtkrc file to edit will either be in ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc or your current theme's gtkrc, e.g. /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.
I'm guessing you need to log out and back in for it to take effect.
