unable to set accelerator keys

[epilogue]

hello all,

i've got the english openoffice-1.1.2 package for 4.x installed.  i know
that it is supposed to be a fairly vanilla build, so i expect that the
problem i'm having also applies to builds from source.

before i send off a problem report to oo.o, i would appreciate it if
someone else could confirm that they also see the same behaviour...

1) open a .sxw text document (or make a new one)
2) tools > configure > menu
3) try to change any of the accelerator keys (ie. the tildes --> ~)

though i have been through the oo.o documentation more than once, i am
entirely unable to change these settings.


thanks!
epi
