Public bug reported:

After turning-off "Show Menubar", key events with the "Alt" key pressed
does not generate an Escape+Letter ASCII code on the TTY input stream.
The "Alt" key-press event is still captured by the Unity global menu.

To reproduce this issue:
1. Open a new gnome-terminal running Bash or Emacs.
2. Right-mouse-click the terminal window and un-check the menu option "Show Menubar"
3. Type a few words separated by spaces.
4. Press Ctrl-A to position the cursor at the beginning of the line.
5. Press Alt-F to move the cursor forward one word -- THIS FAILS. Instead the File menu pops-up.

Work-around:
You must instead press "Esc" and then "F" to generate the Escape-F ASCII code. This makes using the terminal very difficult.
