Perhaps it worth noting that my understanding of 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/109961 (at 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/109852/openbox-menu-xml-keyboard-accelerators-possible )
, as well as of 
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2200202&s=d4ee433831b2e9408e2c852fdade4706&p=12903854#post12903854
, which are a day apart in January 2014,
is what Mikael Magnusson wrote here. The underscore at the configuration 
should have made it underlined.
The patches for archlinux are at
