Try putting the following line in your gtkrc file.  (You may have several of 
them, one for v1, one for v2, one that KDE exports if you have it set to 
match Gnome/GTK apps to the KDE color scheme, etc.)  There should be one (at 
least) hidden (thus, with a dot in front) in your home dir.  There should 
also be a system-wide version in /usr/share/gtkrc/gtkrc, or something 
similar, depending on your distrib.

gtk-can-change-accels = 1

Unfortunately, while that does seem to allow me to change them, the changes 
don't seem to be stored anywhere, so every time I start a new PAN, I have to 
set up my changes again.  The accels feature is part of GTK, not PAN itself, 
but I am not sure who would be responsible for saving the list (in GTK/Gnome 
1 is was them, not PAN, but with the new emphasis on cross-application Human 
Interface guidelines in v2, that may have changed.)

I'm looking forward to that possibility as well.  However, it's going to be a 
lot of work, and they are just starting to seriously discuss it (see other 
current threads on the list, about the choice of data-base to use).
