the underlined big F is a feature of gtk's input method; OOo never really sees
that you press ctrl-alt-shift-f  because the input method filters this event.
The idea of gtk seems to be that you can enter unicode sequences that will be
converted on the fly to the according character, e.g. entering
"ctrl-alt-shift-f" "ctrl-alt-shift-a" "enter" will produce the unicode letter
0xfa (which happens to be an accented upper case U).

The bottom line is that the gtk library which all Gnome applications and
nowadays OOo is based on swallows these key presses and therefore OOo cannot
react on them.

You did not have the problem in OOo 1.1 because that version did not use gtk.
The mentioned workaround (setting SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN) will give you the old
behaviour; the IMHO better workaround to only use another input method in gtk
will switch off (among others) this unicode entering feature so OOo can see the
"ctrl-alt-shift-f" again.

I hope this makes things a little clearer
