Interesting thought.
In the scenario I have to deal with (described in a previous mail)
I could use both display-graphic-p and the
frame type inside a hook executing to
check if the key clash exists for the buffer.
 At the moment I only do that at initialization time.

That would allow identifying whether the key binding clash
situation is real (in the graphical frame), or otherwise
when the frame is a terminal based one.

But I still have the problem of being able to
determine if the key binding is accessible
or not when the frame is in terminal mode.
