Broken *again* in Karmic g-t 2.28.1. And I can't get it to work in g-t 2.22.1 in Hardy either even though bug 284824 says it should work.

2.22.1 Hardy
1.1) Gnome-terminal, edit, Keyboard shortcuts, check DISABLE all menu access keys
1.2) Set "New tab" shortcut to <Alt>t, set Edit, Paste to <Alt>v,
1.3) Attempt to set Edit Copy to <Alt>c, but the dialog box just closes and does not set it at all. You can work around this using gconf-editor > apps > gnome-terminal > keybindings > copy, but the ability to actually set to Alt-C still doesn't make it work.
1.4) None of the three work as expected in the terminal.
1.5) Also, the Edit, Paste shortcut key displayed in the actual menu changes for copy but not for paste (display bug)

2.28.1 Karmic
2.1) Gnome-terminal, edit, Keyboard shortcuts, UNCHECK Enable menu access keys
2.2) Set "New tab" shortcut to Alt+T, set Edit, Copy to Alt+C, set Edit, Paste to Alt+V
2.3) Alt-c works, Alt-v and Alt-t do NOT work as expected in the terminal.
2.4) Also, the Edit, Paste shortcut key displayed in the actual menu changes for copy but not for paste (display bug)

So there are at least two bugs going on here, the display bug in gnome-terminal's menu (items #1.5, 2.4) and whatever the root cause of Alt+? not working, maybe as noted above and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552318.

It'd be really nice if this was fixed in both Hardy LTS and Karmic (at least).
