Newer Gnomes have UI for can-change-accels

Using Pidgin

 After coercing Pidgin into rereading this file (for instance, by restarting it), you can hover over a menu item and hit the keystroke you want to bind to it, and your wish will be granted!  (You might want to turn off `gtk-can-change-accels` again when you're done, since it's pretty easy to bind keys by mistake with it turned on.)
 
-(If you're a Gnome user, you should set the /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels key with `gconf-editor` instead.  You don't need to restart Pidgin for this to take effect.)
+If you're using a recent enough Gnome, you can instead open the ''Appearance'' preferences applet, switch to the ''Interface'' tab and toggle ''Editable menu shortcut keys''.  In older versions of Gnome, use `gconf-editor` to set the `/desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels` key instead (which is what happens in newer Gnomes behind the scenes anyway).  You don't need to restart Pidgin if you take the gconf path.
