Comment 9 for bug 223060

From reading the code, I have found a workaround. Run gconf-editor, and change apps->vinagre->show_accels to false. That setting is described by gconf-editor as "Set to "false" to disable menu shortcuts. Set to "true" to enable them. Note that if they are enabled, those keys will be intercepted by the menu and will not be sent to the remote host." Needless to say, having that value default to true is a very poor choice given the nature of the program. And new users are not likely to find that hidden switch without instructions.
