Hey Monks!

I'm writing a Gtk2 script and I'm trying to do something that might seem a little strange...

I know how to add mnemonic label to a button and allow that to be used to select that button. i.e. "_Close" will have the Accelerator Key
combination of "Alt+C" to select that button. But is it possible to add a Accelerator Key-Combo (mnemonic) to a button which doesn't contain
a Label INSIDE the button..?

The reason I don't have the mnemonic Label inside the button is because I was trying to make everything in my script look fairly uniform. And in
my script I have a few different areas inside the "Window" that contain a Frame, and inside the frame is a HBox containing a Label and Entry. I have
about 4 different sections of the Window (*populated using Gtk2::Table) that are like this, so in the new "Framed" area I have a Button instead
of a Entry, which opens a ColorSelectionDialog. And next to the Button is a Label, exactly like the ones containing a Label and Entry...
         *FYI, the Button contains a DrawingArea set to the ColorSelection of the User.

So is it possible to add this mnemonic 'action' to a button that doesn't contain a Label inside it?
Or maybe even include a Label but somehow Hide it/prevent it from displaying..?


Any idea if something like this is possible?


Thanks in Advance,
Matt
