Newest compiz/unity has decided that it owns my Alt key

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.)
