Bug description:
  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.)
