hexdump -C produces output showing the same hex values that my perl 
snippet did in the OP:

gnome-terminal:
^[OH00000000  1b 4f 48                                          |.OH|
00000003
xterm:
^[[1;5H00000000  1b 5b 31 3b 35 48                                 |.[1;5H|
00000006

It doesn't seem that gnome-terminal "eats" the keystrokes, it just 
produces other keystrokes than xterm does.

On mine (current ubuntu jaunty - gnome-terminal v. 2.26.0) there are two 
settings under Edit / Keyboard Shortcuts: "Enable menu access keys" and 
"Enable the menu shortcut key". Whether or not they are enabled makes no 
difference.

Thanks for taking the time to post, Thomas.
