gnome-terminal's ALT- shortcuts for menu bar make command line editing a pain

Description
When typing in a terminal, the menu bar is hardly ever used.
In the English locale, bash's next-word (ALT-F) opens the File menu, which is hardly ever what you'd want. In the Dutch locale, previous-word (ALT-B) opens the File (~Bestand) menu.
Therefore, gnome-terminal should not set any [ALT-] shortcuts for the menu bar.
I know that the menu bar can be disabled, I have done so for years, but when doing frequent reinstalls or working on other people's account this gets annoying. Possibly it's time to fix this.
