particular user interface. In fact, it is expected that most nontrivial
applications will make use of multiple groups. For example, in an application
that can edit multiple documents, one group holding global actions
(eg. quit, about, new), and one group per document holding actions that
(e.g. quit, about, new), and one group per document holding actions that
act on that document (eg. save, cut/copy/paste, etc). Each window's menus
would be constructed from a combination of two action groups.

Accelerators are handled by the GTK+ accelerator map. All actions are
assigned an accelerator path of the form
<literal>&lt;Actions&gt;/<replaceable>group-name</replaceable>/<replaceable>action-name</replaceable></literal> when they are added to an action group,
and a shortcut is associated with this accelerator path. All menuitems and
toolitems take on this accelerator path. The GTK+ accelerator map code makes
sure that the correct shortcut is displayed next to the menu item.

<para>
The most remarkable feature of #GtkUIManager is that it can overlay a set
of menuitems and toolitems over another one, and demerge them later.
</para>
<para>
Merging is done based on the name of the XML elements. Each element is
identified by a path which consists of the names of its anchestors, separated
by slashes. For example, the menuitem named "Left" in the example above
has the path <literal>/ui/menubar/JustifyMenu/Left</literal> and the
toolitem with the same name has path
<literal>/ui/toolbar1/JustifyToolItems/Left</literal>.
