Well, I meant saving a reference as a python variable:
group = gtk.AccelGroup()
But I'm still curious about the warning issued.

That's the old 1.0 documentation. Try

But I assure you that libglade, internally, *does* consider them :-)

I'm not sure; let's see if anybody else has a comment, and if not, I'd
say yes.
