GnomeAppHelper already supports this. When you want an underlined
accelerator key, just put a "_" before the letter you want
underlined. So you would have the "_File" menu, the "Save _as..."
item, etc.
There is a small example of using GnomeAppHelper in the test-gnome
program (gnome-libs/test-gnome/testgnome.c).
