Re: Inherited Function Key Behavior

[Larry Reaves <larry yrral net>]

Googling for "gtk f10" turns up this:
http://markmail.org/message/aff2za6nil5ftzso

Basically, this should do the trick:

GtkSettings *gtk_settings;
gtk_settings = gtk_settings_get_for_screen(gdk_screen_get_default());
g_object_set(gtk_settings, "gtk-menu-bar-accel", NULL, NULL);

What that does is set the gtk-menu-bar-accel property (the keybinding
for the menubar) to NULL, which keeps it from triggering.

Alternatively, you should be able to set it to F9 for example via
g_object_set(gtk_settings, "gtk-menu-bar-accel", "F9", NULL);
