Hehe, well I'm cheating - I'm inserting the text into the menuitem myself,
not counting on Qt to do it from a QAccel or so :)

Yes, that's my opinion too - but Alexander just posted the opposite opinion.
Alex: isn't it clear enough that this is what you can press to avoid getting 
the menu at the end of a DnD, just like Ctrl+S is what you can press to save 
without using the menu... OK this is hard to explain, but really, I think naming
the modifiers is clear enough.

Well, when releasing - this is when everything happens.....

Hmm, that's a standard shortcut for cancelling an action :-)
Well, that counts as a vote for showing the shortcuts indeed...
