No confusion--MUFFIN is generic to the new Glade UI interfaces extending the
GUI--they need to be fully functional for keyboard navigation.

Accelerators are more "dynamic" <Alt> mod-key bound, with l10n auto-assignment
frequently used. While short-cuts are more static and use a mix of the mod-keys
<Alt>, <Ctrl>, <Shift> and the <Fn> keys.

Shortcuts would be appropriate for some controls in the various Notebookbar
configurations, and probably kept consistent with those controls in the other
MUFFIN layouts.

When to assign a short-cut rather than an mnemonic accelerator?--flexible but
likely just the top level actions across the GUI.
