No particular comment other than: please could you file this separately
on Unity?

Title:
  Alt keys for menu access do not work

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Vivid, Terminal no longer accepts any Alt menu
  shortcuts.

  To reproduce, start up Terminal and give it the focus.  When you hit
  and hold Alt, you'll see the application menu show up in the global
  menu bar, but none of the menus or items have underlines, and all of
  the Alt shortcuts are non-functional.
