You should look in the following file

kdevelop-1.0beta4.1/kdevelop/ckdevelop_init.cpp

In these lines:

  view_menu->insertSeparator();
  view_menu->insertItem(i18n("&Tree-View"),this,
           SLOT(slotViewTTreeView()),0,ID_VIEW_TREEVIEW);
  view_menu->insertItem(i18n("&Output-View"),this,
           SLOT(slotViewTOutputView()),0,ID_VIEW_OUTPUTVIEW);
  view_menu->insertSeparator();
  view_menu->insertItem(i18n("&Toolbar"),this,
           SLOT(slotViewTStdToolbar()),0,ID_VIEW_TOOLBAR);
  view_menu->insertItem(i18n("&Browser-Toolbar"),this,
           SLOT(slotViewTBrowserToolbar()),0,ID_VIEW_BROWSER_TOOLBAR);

you need to change the position of & in strings like "&Toolbar".
For example you can replace "&Toolbar" with "Tool&bar".

Hope this helps.

Bye,
Christian.
