This problem also affects me (and it is still present even though I have
"Launch help browser" disabled in "System/Keyboard Shortcuts".  I'm
using Ubuntu Jaunty.

My "use case" is that I'd like to be able to customise all of the
function-key actions in Gnome-terminal to whatever I want them to be.
I'm doing several projects which involve using the Python curses
library.  It is possible to customise *most* of the function keys, but
F1 and F10 seem to be "reserved" by Gnome-terminal and there seems to be
no way of setting the actions for those.

I have done the following - 
a) Went into Gnome-terminal and selected "Edit/Keyboard shortcuts" there.  I 
de-selected both "Enable menu access keys" and "Enable the menu shortcut key".  
I closed that dialog-box and exited Gnome-terminal.  
b) From the main Ubuntu menu, I went into "System/Preferences/Keyboard 
shortcuts".  In there, I can see that under "Desktop", the "Launch help 
browser" entry is disabled.  Sounds promising.  However, when I go into 
Gnome-terminal and press F1, the help-browser still appears.  

So, I too would like the ability to customise the actions of *all* of 
Gnome-terminal's function keys - not just "most of them."  Many thanks for your 
time.... :)
