Ok, but it could look different. Instead of adding a number before the button 
text (so the user reads "one play a dvd") the number could be in the button 
corner with a cool design (is it possible with Qt?).

Or it could be like Konqueror when pressing "Ctrl" in a web and the access 
keys appear. I don't know, but I'm sure that there should be better ways to 
show the key access for a button, better than including the number inside the 
label.


Regards.
