Public bug reported:

Hi,

Steps to reproduce:
1) Log in, to a "gnome classic" session.
2) Start a gnome-terminal window (for example, right-click on desktop and 
choose "Open terminal...").
3) Press F1.

At this point, an empty help window appears, but it can't be closed or
killed - it respawns continually on a new process id. Also, it grabs the
keyboard focus, so other open applications become unusable. The only way
to continue working is to log out of the session.

Expected behavior:
At least, not hanging the session. My typical use case is that I'm trying to 
hit some other key (for example, the <esc> key while using "vi" in the terminal 
window), and hit F1 by accident, rendering the session unusable.

Thanks!
