That could explain alot, given that Motif installs translations on most
everything to do keyboard traversal.

Anyway.  Try recursing the widget tree and installing the accelerator on
every single widget.  That seems to work some of the time.  Otherwise
there's not much hope, although someone has posted a patch to Motif which
may help some.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
