I tried gtk_action_get_proxies() which works, but it looks like it returns the menu item. I'm still not sure how everything ties together. For example why is the function called gtk_action_get_proxies() it seems to just return the menu item. Anyway the way I got it to work, which doesn't seem unreasonable, was to traverse the GtkWindow down until I found the GtkExpander in that I was looking for and then I emitted a signal. I think this is what you were getting at. So now my callback for the action handler is a wrapper around g_signal_emit_by_name(G_OBJECT(xpndr), "activate"). It finds the expander and emits the signal. Any idea how I can connect an accelerator to the Tab key? In the gtk_accelerator_name() function in the gtkaccelgroup.c file there isn't a "<Tab>" in the list of accelerator name; however, I think there's a way to add one, possibly with gtk_accel_group_connect(), but I'm not sure.
