Keyboard shortcuts not working in Windows Gimp 2.6

With gimp 2.4.7 on Windows XP I could open the gimp and then using my keyboard shortcuts I could either open a new file, recent file or just take a screenshot. In Gimp 2.6 when I open the gimp and try to use keyboard shortcuts in an empty environment nothing happens. But if I go to the menu item and select new, recent file, or screenshot it works.

The only way that I can get keyboard shortcuts to work in gimp 2.6 is I have to have either a blank (new) image or open an image and then the keyboard shortcuts will work. As long as the main window has nothing in it the keyboard shortcuts will not work. Am I missing a setting to correct this behavior?

Seems to work fine here, on Linux. So it appears to be a problem specific to the Windows version.

It appears to work fine here. I mean I open GIMP, directly press Ctrl+O and the open file dialog comes up (for example). Don't know if I have to test other thing.

WindowsXP SP3 here.

Here (Ubuntu 8.04). some of the actions work when there is no image open, and some don't.
I believe this is based on sensitivity (eg. when there is no image open, it doesn't make sense to rotate anything)

Since it has been indicated that keyboard shortcuts should work I just un-installed and reinstalled and everything works fine now.
