[Techtalk] Mnemonic underlines in Gnome menus

Hi, is there any way I can get rid of, or make invisible, the mnemonic
underlines in gtk menubars? They clash with my gnu emacs window. I've
done some heavy modifying of gtkrc (from the gtkstep-theme) and of
.Xresources so now they menus look pretty similar except for those
underlines (which makes the menu just a couple of millimeters higher).

Bonus question one: In the GNU Image Manipulation Program, I can set
new shortcuts on the fly, which is great. However, in other gtk
programs, these shortcuts are reset when I exit the program. Any
remedy?

Bonus question two: Is there a way I can get gtkapps and athena apps
(if that's what FSF/GNU Emacs is) to display their menubar at the top
of the screen, instead of in the window, like Mac OS does? I know you
can do this with kde (and I kinda know how kde1 did it - they display
the menus on top of each other which worked great). I'm prepared to do
some hacking, but in which packages? Or do anyone have an idea on how
to start this at all? (Okay, so I'm clueless today.)

I know that you can get a gnome-menubar at the top of the screen, but
that's not the applications menu. When I use emacs I want to be able
to just slam the mouse into the top of the screen and choose buffers etc.

Thanks regardless,
Sunnanvind
