Hi, I'm the author of the upstream alt-f6 code. It does actually use the X window's "group" property. It appears to me that the problem is that multiple gnome-terminals don't have the same "group" property as one another. You can add the debugging statement below to demonstrate this. Unless I'm mistaken here, this should probably be a bug against gnome- terminal.
