I put if GTK_MAJOR_VERSION==3 around this:
  action = 
gtk_activatable_get_related_action(gtk_menu_get_active(GTK_MENU(menu)));

It seems to be working how you described. I clicked on Notes/Rests 
released on Comments after hitting the c key. It gave me a pop warning 
saying that that key is already assigned. I applied it anyway to test 
it. sure enough, I hit the c key and the comment dialog appeared.

The dialog pops up to change keybinding as soon as I hit the key and 
before the release of the key.
