Bug Description

Like many advanced terminal users, I consider the terminal a conduit to send my keystrokes through to the applications within. Due to this, I have the menu access keys option disabled (see attached screenshot for proof). Unfortunately, when I hit Alt+F to move forward a word, I instead find myself looking at the file menu. This happens whether or not I have "Display Menubar" checked in the window in question.

I suspect that some sort of unity layer is thwarting gnome-terminal's ability to shut this off, but I don't understand enough of the implementation details so I'm filing against the terminal itself.
