Public bug reported:

gnome-terminal has a setting that intentionally stops Alt grabs for
menus (Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Enable Menu Access), which I've
always used to allow me to type "Alt-F" (and others) in my terminals.
In the past, this always worked great, and I could type Alt-F in, say,
mutt, to change my From address.

As of the latest uploads, I'm now reduced to the awkward Esc-F, because
Alt-F brings up the file menu, no matter how much I wish it wouldn't.
Pretty please fix this regression.

(I assume the same annoyance would be happening on my attempts to use
Alt-[1-0] in irssi, if gnome-terminal had a menu whose shortcut was a
digit, but thankfully it doesn't.)
