That, I might have forgotten to try, not sure, it was a few months ago.

Yes, that one is obvious.

Thats why I said "after you enabled accesskeys".

In /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf you have the following:

# Launch the greeter with an additional list of colon separated GTK+ modules.
# This is useful for enabling additional feature support e.g. GNOME
# accessibility framework. Only "trusted" modules should be allowed to minimize
# security holes
#AddGtkModules=false
# By default, these are the accessibility modules.
#GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener

As you can see, AddGtkModules is set to false by default.

Now, edit your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and put the following in the [daemon] section:

AddGtkModules=true
GtkModulesList=gail:atk-bridge:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener

I *think* all you actually need for this is keymouselistener, so you
can probably remove the dwellmouselistener module from the example above.

The module specific configuration can be found in
/etc/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents

Let us know if you manage to get it working.
