I observe that the menu access keys are correctly disabled if
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 is set in the environment, disabling the global menu
to revert to menu bar drawn within the gnome-terminal window.

Therefore, I've marked the bug as also affecting unity, as it seems
highly likely that at least some of the fix will need to be in Unity
rather than gnome-terminal.

Title:
  gnome-terminal not respecting "Enable menu access keys" setting,
  inside the Unity desktop environment.

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

Bug description:
  Under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts.. there is a checkbox for "Enable
  menu access keys (such as Alt+F to open the File menu)".

  That checkbox appear to have no affect what so ever. No matter
  whatever I have it checked or not I still get the same behavior, that
  menu access keys are enabled.

  This being a problem since I'd much rather not have the menu get in
  the way of my readline/emacs bindings.
