Exactly. I just tested this with Galeon, this is the way it works. Additionally, it is also possible to press, then release, the mouse button over the menu bar and to select the menu entry without any button pressed. Then clicking a button invokes that menu entry. Here, also, the user can hit a key while the menu entry is highlighted (ie, before last step of clicking the button). Both possibilities would work for Emacs, too, it seems. Yes, I think they would. If someone implements it cleanly, I would support installing the feature.
