Public bug reported:

In older versions of Ubuntu (pre-11.10), it was possible to pass menu
key combinations to the application in the terminal by hiding the menu
bar.  With the new Unity appmenu "notifier", that no longer works -- as
documented http://shebang.brandonmintern.com/oneiric-upgrade-breaks-
readline-alt-b-and-alt, achieving that effect now requires a different
option.

To avoid surprising and annoying users, when upgrading from an earlier
version of gnome-terminal, the "Enable menu access keys" option should
default to the same value as "Show Menubar".

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10
Package: gnome-terminal 3.0.1-0ubuntu3
