I've been holding on to Konsole for a long time now. Thanks to this
thread I became aware of the existence of Roxterm.  So I just
installed it to one of my linux...

For me mc is also a critical app. And for the most part Roxterm seems
willing to play nice with mc. And it looks like I'd only need a little
bit of profile, and color schema work (And a few slight changes to the
assorted shellscripts I have that currently call konsole) for me to
switch to using Roxterm instead.

But I'm very keyboard centric and I dislike needing to use the mouse
to get at the menu. So I need to either leave the "menu shortcuts keys"
or the "menu access key" enabled. Both of which conflict with mc's
key-bindings. In mc I use Alt+P from the panel view to pull up previous
commands. But if roxterm's "menu shortcuts keys" are enabled I get the
preferences menu. And if instead, I enable the "menu access key" 
then the F10 (default) keybinding gets in the way of closing mc.
(yeah I know I can use the two stroke "esc" "0" instead, but my
reflexes expect F10 to work...

The problem is that Roxterm evidently doesn't include a shortcut
editor, but instead relies on some gnome desktop based method. that as
far as I can see doesn't work with E17, E16, or XFCE. Do you know of
any way to assign a non-default menu access key that doesn't depend on
my installing the whole gnome bag of tricks first???
