gnome-terminal under unity does not obey the "enable menu shortcut" setting

[Oded Arbel]

Under Oneiric when using the "Ubuntu 2D" session, when gnome-terminal has "Enable menu access keys" set in Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts - then pressing ALT+F does not open the file menu, nor any other menu can be opened using the menu access keys: the menu is shown when holding ALT but no menu can actually be opened using keyboard shortcuts.

For example - in Firefox it works fine.

This issue is not a duplicate of bug #728040 - as that bug is about the option to show the menu bar.

This is about the menu shortcut keys not working, so its more like bug #663030 - but that bug is closed with "fix released" while obviously we still have a problem :-)

Actually this is a problem whit appmenu-gtk and affects all gtk menus on unity.
